It is all we need to know

Anumber of years ago, I was severely entertained by the Red Green Show. It was a mix of sitcom, sketch comedy and perhaps a parody of the Home Improvement show. There was always a segment of the show in which a sketch was built around “the three little words men find impossible to say: ‘I don’t know.’” The words, “I don’t’ know,” are the hardest words for anyone to say when we want to know—when we need to know—when our faith seems to depend on knowing. When we ask our minister if it is true that there is a heaven, the last thing we want to hear is, “I don’t know.” We want to believe there is always an answer, a reason, a purpose; and we want to know that someone has the answer.
