cold cold day

Listening to Ingram Marshall's kingdom come.brilliant. Reading Karl Barth's essay's.Barth is a dangerous man, he took the Gospels seriously,knowing, like Dan Berrigan said, if you want to follow Jesus, you better look good on wood.Barth is so cogent, so insightful, i find myself reading and re-reading passages{, not simply because of knotty prose,} for their context,their genuine wonder.Like his Swiss mate Urs von Balthazar, Barth found the beauty at the centre .I am humbled by his output.I reckon this is what is referred to as genius.
