But Are There Stars?
Russell Moore

See


"What do you see?"

"I see a mountain."

"A mountain?"

"Yes. There are angels at the bottom."

"And on the top?"

"I see a tree."

"Among all the others?"

"No..."

"And are there stars?"

"It's daytime."

"Yes, but are there stars?"

"It's a cloudy day, it's raining."

"Yes, but are there stars?"

"Yes."

"And are they on the ground?"

"No..."

"Where are they?"

"The mist is concealing a figure in a dark cloak."

"Yes, but where are the stars?"

"The rain is dissolving, melting the mountain."

"Yes, but where are the stars?"

"The angels."

"The angels?"

"Yes, they hold the stars in their hands."
