At the end of the day, when I'm lying in bed and I know the chances of any of my, or our, or whatever's theology being exactly right are what, a million in one? then I need to know that God has things figured out, that if our math is wrong we are still going to be ok.

Wonder is that feeling we get when we let go of our silly answers, our mapped-out rules that we want God to follow.

I don't think there's any better worship than wonder.

It's like, when I think of the sheer complexity of the Trinity, my mind cannot understand, but my heart feels wonder in abundance satisfaction. It's as though my heart, in the midst of its euphoria, is saying to my mind, Josh, there are things you canot understand, and you must learn to live with this. Not only must you learn to live with this, you must learn to enjoy this.

I'm an unabashed Christian mystic. I admit it.
