My journey this week takes me to a confusing and mysterious subject, exercising a World View. Wikipedia defines a Christian world view as “referring to the framework of ideas and beliefs through which a Christian individual, group or culture interprets the world and interacts with it." Our personal world view guides our values, emotions, attitudes and our ethics.
My friend, John Rush, has a vacation home on the river in Gruene. Rush sees a dichotomy of world views in his neighborhood. On one side, his neighbor loves squirrels. He feeds them and keeps predators of squirrels — primarily cats — out of his yard.
His neighbor on the other side hates squirrels because he is a bird watcher, so he uses a bb gun and traps to keep them out of his feeders. The squirrel-lover feeds them while the squirrel-hater takes caged squirrels to the river “for a swim.”
