I am a wanderer. I would say that I am a seeker, but sometimes I have no idea what I might be seeking, so I will stick with wanderer. This blog is more a public journal than anything. I don't claim to have life figured out. I simply stumble from mystery to mystery, and share my reflections along the way. Sometimes I feel burdened, and trudge. Sometimes? Well sometimes grace breaks through, and its time to dance.

Which God do you Worship?
Which God do you worship?
Do who worship a God who is all about power?
Or a God who is all about love?
Do you worship a God who is all about punishment?
Or a God who is all about forgiveness?
Do you worship a God who is inclusive,
Seeking to draw all people together,
Or do you worship a God who is exclusive,
And who is for you, and your group…
All others “be damned” (literally)
Do you worship a God who is about cold, rigidity
Or a God who celebrates creativity?
Do you worship a God who is all about earthly kingdoms
About places on a map
Or a God who is all about the human heart,
And about the nurture of the soul?
Do you worship a God who penned a book which must be read
rigidly and literally
Or does God speak not only through sacred books, but also in
the power of the Spirit,
In many ways,
and choose to engage us daily in a living, creative way?
Do we worship a God who demands we deny science
Minimize women
And reject people who are LGBT QI,
For the sake of this literal interpretation
Or do we understand that God is always bringing new
understanding into the
Minds and hearts of people, and a new freedom to love and
accept?
God is always doing a “new thing”
Do we have a God who “goes to bed” with politicians
And seeks to establish Sacred rule through political means,
Or do we have a God whose kingdom is not of this world,
And who warns us not to merge our faith with earthly powers?
Which God do you worship?
Which God is the true God.
It makes a difference
