It takes a certain kind of person
to renounce a past-held view
When the chips fell where they did
And it became clear it wasn’t true
…
When the evidence is laid out bare,
is it then you must decide
If you’re committed to the truth
or committed to your pride
…
“Be thou humble,” scripture teaches,
and rid yourself of counterfeit
If deeply held assumptions don’t hold weight
Have the strength to quit
…
Be open to embrace new truth,
and out with paradigms old
Apply the litmus test of truth,
then purify the gold
…
Now shocker of all shockers:
I’ve been wrong in the past
Had to learn to let things go,
‘stead of stubbornly hold fast
…
When “old things are done away,
all things become new,”
then *finally* I can understand,
what is supernally, eternally true
PS: That woman in the top left photo is Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood abortion worker who saw the light and left the industry. She founded a non-profit to help others do the same and is now a force to be reckoned with in the Pro-Life movement. I love her!
