downtime

Sitting in the UGLI computer lab trying to figure out how to make a program efficient. It takes like an hour to run it once, though... so I have a lot of downtime.

We went out to the Diag today to share the Gospel with people. Joe and I got to sit down to this one guy with dreads... and we engaged ... well, no, Joe and I listened to this guy's philosophical views. A lot of it was beyond me; there was a lot of abstract discussion. He said a truth is only true if it is true without requiring language - that we don't have to speak it and explain it in words for it to be alive.
So he asked us, what about our faith is unspoken, yet true?

"I think the unspoken truth about our faith is the fact that... uh... forget what I just said."

It's important to think about these things so that I have an adequate response ready. Although I doubt I will ever again meet a Christian-raised Zen Buddhist-practicing philosophy-majoring yogi, how can I express my faith without words?

Love seems like a good answer. But love's not exclusive to the Christian faith.
Hope? Nope.
Jesus? Yes. But how do I explain Jesus without words? Need I?
