Defending God

It is funny to listen to some people try to defend God, as if he needed defending.

 Richard Rohr recently wrote, "The great mystics tend to recognize that Whoever God Is, he or she does not need our protection or perfect understanding. All our words, dogmas, and rituals are like children playing in a sandbox before Infinite Mystery and Wonderment."

We think we are defending God, and we are really just playing in the sandbox compared to his power and greatness.

I love ideas that invite us to stop trying to be in charge and just fall into the love and mystery of God.  We make plans and God laughs.  He cannot be controlled.  Just fall into the Mystery.

It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
