“One so often hears people say, ‘I just can’t handle it,’ when they reject a biblical image of God as Father, Mother, as Lord or Judge; God as lover, as angry or jealous, God on a cross. I find this choice of words revealing, however real the pain they reflect: if we seek a God we can “handle,” that will be exactly what we get. A God we can manipulate, suspiciously like ourselves, the wideness of whose mercy we’ve cut down to size.” Kathleen Norris
I love this quote from Kathleen Norris and the idea that we’ve put God in a box for our own comfort and we’re missing out when we choose this God. This week, and in the weeks to come, we’re going to start looking at Paul’s letter to the Colossians and hopefully come to a much bigger vision of just who God is to us.

For Tuesday, July 23rd at 12:00 noon
: Our Bible Study on Tuesdays is getting very interesting! Last week we discussed King Saul’s concubine and for this coming Tuesday (July 23rd) we’re going to study Lot’s wife and maybe I’ll bring a salty snack for us to enjoy! We meet from 12:00-1:15 and then we have a time of healing prayer led by Joan Milliman.
