aristotle says i am a rational animal, i say i am an angel with an incredible capacity for beer...

i listened to the first brendan manning cd today called healing our image of God and oursleves. i am glad that i listened to it alone because there were parts were i felt so relieved and happy that i almost wept. even in my attempt to learn more about justice peace and mercy i have still fallen short in comprehension of them. because i have seen them through the lens of humanity which is noble at best but falls very short of the Love of God which is perfect. these are more days to think about who i am and why i am a loveable person. it isnt cuase i am good it isnt cause God makes me good but it is only because God is good.

how will i ever stop worrying that i cant get things right and just feel loved. i think little by little and day by day. today i feel loved and liked by God i feel like he is good and it makes me good enough and i am happy with that. i need daily reminders of this cause i am sure that soon enough i will forget and i will be afraid of the god i have made God out to be.
