questions

I was having dinner with a friend.  He asked if he could ask me a question about God.  He apologized for having questions about God.

Stop.  What???

You don't have to apologize for having questions about God, about how the world works, or anything.  People asked Jesus questions all the time.

God is not offended by our questions.

Just keep in mind that very often, the questions don't have the answers that we hope for.  We humans prefer certainty, but there is much that we do not know about God and how the world works.  Maybe we will find the answers when we get to heaven.  Maybe the answers won't matter then.

It is fine, it is great to ask questions and to have questions.  Learn to live with ambiguity and unanswered questions.  Have faith.

And if you meet people... pastors or church people who have all the answers, RUN.  Run the other way.

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