Kesher Talk

Real Live Preacher. I hadn't stopped by Real Live Preacher for awhile and I forgot just how great a blog it is. This guy's writing is so fine and so transparent. Just start at the top and scroll down, and then start clicking on the archives. Plan to spend an hour or so. The comments are great too - one of them linked to this amazing rumination on weddings and marriage.

In one way all the people who are thoughtful and serious about religion - any religion - are part of my "tribe" more than people who have a blankness where the awe should be, or who are still knee-jerk reacting to some straw-man stereotype of God they remembered from when they were 14 and thought they were so cool because they had outgrown a child's understanding of God. And got stuck there, never growing into an adult's experience of God. (And then there are those adults who are still stuck in a child's understanding of God, in fact an abused child's understanding of God, combined with a child's need to huddle in cliques and an abused child's need to strike out, and that's trouble.)

Religion is a very sharp knife, and it can cut a lot of things.

Anyway, some people have God-consciousness pouring out of them it seems effortlessly, like RLP.
