Well Said: In the River With Us Sinners

From my quote journal.
Theologians need to meditate on God's inexplicable habit of wading inot the river with us sinners. Clothing Adam and Eve. Giving a break to Cain. Hanging out with Abraham, Moses, Noah, David and Elijah. None of them were great theologians. All could be petty and were frequently wrong. They were notorious sinners. The theologians are down at the temple, oiling up the big religion machine that only they understood. God's favorites are chopping down Philistines, writing poems and romancing women. Now there's a God I can appreciate.

Patty who doesn't want her full name posted, and I think that's what will happen if I sign off with Google.
