This is an open-comment theology blog where I will post various theological musings, mostly in sermon or essay form, for others to read and comment on. If what I say here interests you, you may want to check out some of my books. Feel free to criticize, to critique, to comment, but keep comments to the point and respectful. Many of these posts have been published elsewhere, but I wanted them collected and made available to a wider audience.

The Cloud of Unknowing
I reach into the cloud of unknowing, into the Great Mystery, comfortable in what I don't know, but trusting, taking a chance and guided by the image of Christ. I reach heights beyond imagining. But then I start to struggle, I begin to make demands. It is not enough to believe, I must KNOW. And what if I can't? Fear, anxiety, and darkness roll in. If I cannot know, I won't believe. Soon I am lost in the shadows. I shrink from the size of the universe to something less than a man. I look up, my Lord Jesus says to me, "you of little faith...why did you doubt?" And I start to climb the mountain again.
