"The mark of Christianity is the paradox, the absolute paradox. As soon as a so called speculative cancels the paradox and makes this qualification into an element, all the spheres are confused."
~Søren Kierkegaard

Personally have come from a background of dependence on knowing and being secure in that knowledge, I now much more appreciate not knowing.

And truly when exploring what it is to be in relationship with the creator of the Cosmos would mystery and a freedom to explore that mystery be the best and more rich place to find even more of an expression of who God is?

And if God's primary purpose is to be relational what is more mysterious than a relationship?  I could try to be funny and talk about understanding the mind of a woman but truly we each are mysterious within us and thus we are mysterious in how we show up in life.  


That is why NOTHING is gained by holding a person in a box, thus much less holding God in a box.

Love is not love unless it is an openness within the mind for the other; God or my wife, or my friend or the Democrat or the Republican or whomever.

Fear creates fences, love sees no fences.
