Jenna Wall - Scared Place Chooses

In Lane's text it is stated that a sacred place is not chosen, it chooses. Before reading this, I always thought that a sacred place was where something spiritual had happened in the past. I didn't stop to think about how an ordinary place could be sacred. A scared place isn't a place man chooses, but I still don't think the place itself "chooses" to be sacred. In my opinion, the last statement Lane makes regarding the first axiom sums it up: "God Chooses to reveal himself only where he wills." It isn't man's choosing, but it isn't the location that chooses either. God reveals himself in that moment and God chooses to make that particular place scared to that particular individual. We each have different locations that we see as sacred because of what God chooses to reveal to us, not because of what we choose.
