OOPS. It's been almost a month........

These are so random. I apologize for any of you who might actually read this so-called blog.....I am all over the place........I'm hoping this is a place that as I sort it all out, a few things become more clear. Bear with me, or quit reading. It's totally up to you. :)



God finds us


I don't believe any single religion owns heaven or God - even a religion that tries to include everyone. When I say I'm a universalist, what I really mean is that I don't believe you have to convert to any particular religion to find God. As I see it, God finds us, and it has nothing to do with subscribing to any particular religious view ... Universalism says that a theology of grace implies salvation for all, because if grace could be limited to some people and not to others, ... it is in fact no grace at all ... grace is bigger than any religion.

Great food for thought and discussion.....what do YOU think?


Here's another one:
"I believe that our impulse towards grace is a reflection of
God’s image inside of us, not a weakness of which we should be ashamed"

I am mystified as to why it's supposedly such a bad thing for a Christian to have a "bleeding heart." We follow Jesus Christ, whose heart was so overflowing with compassion that he bled from his head, hands, feet, and side, and *still* forgave those who wounded him. It seems to me that a "bleeding heart" is something Christians should aspire to.
