The Parable of the Virus

I’ve been pretty swamped this week and haven’t had time to write anything with quality content. So, here’s another parable I wrote for my class:

“The network of God is like a latent computer virus that infects a mainframe and spreads throughout the entire system, slowly hijacking every machine from the inside out.”

    It’s a good thing the network of God doesn’t use Macs, or the virus wouldn’t work. ;)

    Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I used this in a sermon this morning. Thought it sounded like a great paraphrase of the parable of unleavened bread.

    And then I come back to day so I can add the link when I post my sermon, and I find that you are talking about leaps of faith too. (Though I was thinking more along the lines of Kierkegaard.)

    Great minds think alike, eh?
