Very good

Already grad school has taught me two things:

1. I am inherently GOOD. God said called us, his creation, “very good” and he has yet to change his mind. All of us hold a piece of the Divine. (This is no pantheism, writes Annie Dillard, for what draws the whole creation together in unity with itself and with God is Christ.)

2. My believing this (and I have a while now) does not make me a heretic.
