i highlighted the same comments as Me…”the absolute mystery of God; it reminds us that we must not hope to understand him.” this feels like such freedom to me especially compared to my traditional “dogmatic” upbringing. thanks for the primer on Karen Armstrong. i haven’t had the brain energy to dive into her writings quite yet, but this is very intriguing!

I have comment moderation on so the first one didn't turn up immediately. Isn't it great? I felt a real sense of home-coming and like you hope to always get reminders when I start to over-intellectualise. Thanks so much for reading. Thanks for your comments, Me.

because it reminds me of all I love about the vastness of God and why I love Him and the members of the Trinity. I love that I can’t get my mind around Him and hope that I always get reminders when I get to intellectual and start to think I know it all.
