What can we know (or think we know) about the nature of God? A correlative question would necessarily be (in light of my foregoing discussion) Can we accept the following hypothesis: “God is immutable, human comprehension of the nature of God is not”? This is how I ended my last post over 2 weeks ago.Continue reading “Continuing on…”

The Wanderer (yes, Jer, I was referring to you) posted a response on his blog yesterday, as well as commenting directly on my post. And his response and comment now, in turn, elicit a response from me. First I want to clarify my comment about the immutability issue. I should have proofread my post moreContinue reading “The Journey Continues”

(Note: Before I begin, I have a question for my fellow wanderer: Have I offended you, brother? Now, on to today’s post?) I don’t know when it started. I suspected it began about the same time that the first human, or perhaps even human LIKE, person molded a clump of mud into a figurine andContinue reading “A Conundrum”

Sung to the tune, of course…. 24 little hours in a day. I woke up a different person today than I was when I awoke yesterday. Okay, not really. But, yes, really. Okay, let’s face it… I believe we ALL wake up each day different in some way than the day before. First off, letContinue reading “What a Difference a day makes….”

In May, 1996, I walked out the doors of St. Meinrad School of Theology with a Masters Degree for the last time. It marked for me the end of a process, the end of an epoch. Because when those doors shut, my 38 years as a Roman Catholic came to an end. I loved theContinue reading “Godspeed Il Papa!”

Gosh, I’m disappointed no one asked me about being chased by lions or by baboons or by a hippo! I wonder why? Surely the fact that no one is reading my blog has nothing to do with it! Nah!!!!! That’s not it. So, Mr. MineAllMine, won’t you please tell us (me and my friends here)Continue reading “Okay, okay! If you insist…”

I’m not sure why, really, but this morning, as I showered, I was thinking about the three months I spent living in Kenya. Several of us went, and then scattered upon arrival to the four corners of that beautiful country. A few spent their summer in little villages in the countryside, miles away from “civilization”.Continue reading “Fond Memories”

“I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.” John 3:3 Well, I could take the Real Live Preacher up on a suggestion and write about “Nic at Night” but, I won’t. I’ll leave that for the more skilled amongst us. (BTW, Nic… as in Nicodemus…Continue reading “Nick at Night???? Nah… not really.”

The other day, while doing a search on information regarding the three dimensions of Physics: Space, Time, Mass I came across a blog from several months ago which introduced me to the concept of Spiritual Dimensions. There are, it would seem, three spiritual dimensions to go with the three primary dimensions mentioned parenthetically above. Well,Continue reading “Threenesses”

Chapter 1 Before time began, One Existed. And the existence of This One can not be comprehended. The One Existed, and the One Loved – for love’s sake. As a result of this love for love’s sake, the One decided to create. So the One whispered “Let it begin.” From deep within the One, theContinue reading “It has been asked of me, so let it be – a sample”
