Josh and the Deacon: Lighting the Dark: A Searching Conversation about Faith

The story of creation, as depicted in the book of Genesis, baffled Josh.

He could not come to grips with the mechanics of the process.

Whenever the topic confronted him, he would find himself asking the question: how?

He also had other concerns about his faith. So, when Bob, a deacon in his Church, asked him a question, Josh was inwardly pleased as he saw this as the door being opened.

Yes, he could now have a discussion with the knowledgeable deacon.

His probing questions kept the cordial conversation flowing.

The deacon's explanations, by way of analogy, pleasantly surprised Josh.

He felt that a light had been brought into the dark areas.
