Nate Knows Nada

As a kid, I had a fair amount of acne.  Not disfiguring or
scarring, but still quite a lot….  As an adult, I tend not to
break out anymore, but I do get these cysts (which my doctor has
assured me are perfectly innocuous) that occasionally become inflamed
and really hurt for a couple of days.

The one on the back of my neck has been doing that yesterday and
today.  It really hurts, and I’m getting annoyed by tnot being
able to turn my neck and all.  I’d go to the doctor, but by the
time I get in a couple of days from now, the thing will have gone
down….

Right, like you all wanted to hear about my medical issue of the day….

In mind of what AKMA said last week, responding to my post, I guess I should point out that I’m not really a panentheist.  I recognize that there’s a difference between seeing God as present in all things and seeing God in all
things.  It’s just that I’m trying to figure out why that’s
important (in my own faith) and in the larger context.  So I
sometimes try on new beliefs and ideas, or they help to spark some
sense of thinking through an issue.

In all honesty, my theology is pretty much orthodox.  But there’s
no harm (yes, I know about the damnation in store for heretics…) in
playing with a belief in the process of figuring it out.
