Ideation is my creative process of generating, developing, and communicating new ideas. These are thoughts that might be nebulous or formed, abstract or concrete. They may be anywhere along the process from speculative thinking to speculative formation.

I consider Leonard Cohen a Universalist because he sought the Universal Name. A Name beyond himself. A Name that has no name..

Easier when Doubting

It is easier to find God in our doubts than in our faith. It is easier to know God when we argue with the divine than it is through blind faith.

Unable to Die Are the Loved

A Principled Faith (Part 1)

I am a Universalist Christian not because it speaks of my ultimate acceptance by God, but because I find it to be a radical counterculture that has the potential of turning contemporary culture on its head

Hearing God

I wonder if perhaps, people have "trouble hearing God" because we Christians get in the way of God speaking.

Seek, Not Usher

An odd thought just occurred to me: f I were a Seventh-Day Adventist, I probably would not be eating the braunschweiger sandwich that I am now eating for lunch.
