Recently in GOD CategoryWhere Is God In All Of This?December 25, 2007Shabbat is about God and about coming together as a community to say hello to God. B ut in my community, if I use that language I would scare people off. For them, realizing that it is about God is the end of a journey, or well along in the journey, not at the beginning of the journey. For them, the beginning is connecting with each other and getting a chance to discuss the big questions and having the freedom to conclude that maybe it is not all about God.

Maybe, if we discuss those questions enough, we would ultimately come to the conclusion that it is about God. What else is there? Therapy Vs. GodDecember 15, 2007Is it all about the therapy of needing a day of rest? That it is THE answer to the modern problem? Or is it that we are creating a relationship with God on that day?
