What am I thankful for this Thanksgiving? At just the right moment, I can stop buying theology (God) books. You see, after maxing out my mortgage for home improvements, cigars and then God books, a budget has become necessary. It was fun while it lasted. God has always been a central issue in my life through no choice of my own. I was born into this concern and try as I might, the God concern has been at times avoided but never escaped.
Fifty years
ago, was the last time I tried to make peace with my inheritance. Being a newbie
to all things spiritual, I tried to fit together my own limited spiritual experience
with the experience of others in the present and throughout history. The
historical others list is very long and I was swamped. In the midst of my
bewilderment, I discovered the Bible for the first time but much to my
surprise, there wasn’t much God peace in the Bible.
The Bible is
the story of many earthbound search's for spiritual authenticity. At the time, I mistakenly
assumed that these were the only authentic stories, all in the past. Then I bought a house at
1990 Gibralter Rd., Landers, California.
I thank God for my home and the God peace given to me, the most
undeserved of humans.
