stealing second after second
i was out at northgate, running errands while i was waiting for adrian
to finish at his meet, and i gave in and bought searching for God
knows what. i have another one coming from amazon. oh well.
it's really good, really funny and sarcastic and spelling things out
about relating to God that i've been thinking myself for a few years
now. it's like there's a bunch of us running on another track from
another, larger group of people. the people on the track i'm on are
looking over puzzled at the larger group. we pass each other
occasionally, in varying frequencies, some of us running faster than
others, then slowing down, catching up to each other, smiling at each
other.
something dawned on me in chapter 3, that i didnt realize about
myself. when i think of God, i realize he's large and powerful and
mighty and stuff, paul-bunyon-esque in his stature... but i'm not
terrified of him. i probably should be but i'm not. i don't think of
him as harmless or anything, he's not a gerbil. but he is kind and
benevolent and gentle and loving. i know that about him. i don't know
how i know. i feel fortunate in that - i know it's how he really is
and not a personality element i'm projecting on him, and i'm really
glad i at least get one part of this whole thing right :)
