I do believe the Eldredges’ have it correct….. marriage is a minefield ~ life is a minefield. this Christian life we lead in a world opposed to the Biblical view is nothing more than war and a minefield. People and expectations and money and stuff and life on earth. When friends put a box around you, when the church fails you, when children choose the other path, when life here is a minefield.
I looked up the making of a minefield. Hidden dangers, snares, digging holes deep and shallow, pretending to look normal when the ground is full of danger and death. The chances of being blown up when making the minefield are great also. Some of the closest things to me are the most dangerous.
I need to think about this some more…. all of life is a minefield. How well do I detect the danger?
