Well, we had the discussion group and it went well. Even though I hadn’t had the negative experiences of the book, I did find things to contribute.
I am still reading. I finished The Heart of Christianity and I’m now working on The God We Never Knew, both by Marcus Borg. Along the way, I’ve discovered details about the author that I never imagined. He said he was in his thirties before reaching a point that he accepted God as real. I know that many people question the existence of God in college. I have decided it’s not really college that causes the doubt. It’s a level of maturity. I felt that way myself in my early twenties and I didn’t go to college until I was in my forties.
As I told the book discussion group, I tried to think of the world and my life without God and it scared me to death. I cannot conceive a world without God. The current book I’m reading is explaining a different concept of God. It is a God all around us idea. I am still working on understanding it. More later….
