holy randomnity

Sometimes you don't know what you' re all about until you go come apart...or go random. What would a random string of the words you uttered in the last week look like? Might be all too telling, scary, revealing, wonderful, vulnerable, sacred.

At left is a grouping of randomly generated words from this blog (help! I'm naked online!). Interesting...

In a way similar to the collage experiment, it's kind of an X-ray of your soul, passions, hopes and fears.


Of course there's the negative pole of all this. I love Mike Roe's prayer: "Save me from randomnity."
Yey I love the holy randominity..maybe these charts are what our prayers look like..Romans 8:26 implies we don't know how to pray, but the Spirit strings together our random, non-sequential longings...and the above grouping works for me as a prayer...(at least it's got "Jesus" "Kingdom" , "help" and "Dave" in it...uh, as well as "baby)...

There's an old story about the rabbi who overheard a man praying random alphabet letters...X F G H...
A bit concerned, he inqired as to the man's unorthodox prayer method, and got the reply; "I don't know what to pray, so i hust throw up all these random letters to God, and pray He will spell what He wants." "Oh, I see. I bless you."

Watch out! Nothing is more ordered than chaos. Tohu Bohu!

Oh, here's the grouping for my U2 blog,
