A small, insistent voice told me to call my pastor friend, Carol, today. So I did.
Carol and I have known one another since 1984, the year that she came to East Lansing to serve as a campus pastor at the church I attended.
She gave me the names of two books which I may ask Santa for; both are by the esteemed theologian, Douglas John Hall.
The first title is Bound and Free; A Theologian's Journey which talks about life as a gift. We were talking about life as something to be "consumed" and how unappealing a verb that is. Carol mentioned that Hall speaks of being good stewards of that which is a gift, life. I'm intrigued.
The second title is Why Christian? People on the Edge of Faith (or something close to that) which, I presume, was her gentle nudging of me to seek and find a spiritual community with which I can participate.
As more than just a few people have told me, I probably should have studied theology. I positively LOVE reading theology.
And that is a "being" part of me, not a "doing" part.
