theological angst

reverting back to my seventeen year old self, i was complaining the other day that i do not have my own theology.

my dear friend countered that with..."yes you do. it is in relationship."

the following morning, i was getting down with my midwestern self during bluegrass sunday at church. during the closing song, one of the four years olds--she is adorable, thoughtful and engaged--came running into my arms. we danced together, joyful in the presence of God and our community.

this is where the rubber hits the road. this is theology. how do we live in the presence of God?

i am still wrestling with this question, and will forever, but these moments in relationship, in worship, ground me in the process of wandering and questioning.
