Journal 23: Tom Walker and John Edwards

this is an interesting blog, because i dont have much to say about these two story in the connections. Why is this interesting? cause i might wander into some random things again. I don't see much in common with the sermon and the story. First, i didnt all that much about God in the story of Tom Walker. I thought it tied more to the puritan belief of the devil than that of the belief with God.
When i was reading the story, what was in my mind was like a dark fantasy story rather than a supernatural justice. I dont refcall any super natural justice, the justice was the greed of man in the hearts of Tom Walker and his heart being taken away. The devil might even be said to be the justice that took the heart and the greed of Tom Walker and that him travel/bound to earth for eternity, not being able to heaven or hell.
With the last idea, i still dont see the connection of God and the story of Tom Walker. There was no sdescription of praying to God or the belief in God or christianity in the whole story. It talked about the black man, the life of the wife and Tom, and the different versions of the story. In the end of the story, i still didnt see any connection of the story to the sermon. The only thing i could say about the Sermon and the story to have in common is probably the part about romantics. TO some extent, you might say god is dressed in the devil's gown to punish Tom Walker i guess. The dark form is his fury within.
