questions

some of life's most confounding questions are:

• who am I?
• where am I?
• how did I get here?
• why am I here?

• where did the universe, and all that is in it, come from? 

• does God exist?
• who is God?
• how do I know God?

I believe that:

• no one speaks for God but God.
• God hears my prayers.
• God chooses when to answer my prayers.
• God doesn't give me everything that I ask for.
• (I didn't give my children everything that they asked for.)
• the bible tells me about God.
• sometimes the bible is clear and unambiguous.
• I don't allow other humans to convince me that it means something different.
• sometimes the bible isn't so clear, e.g. Revelations.
• I ask God what the bible means.
• sometimes God answers me clearly.
• sometimes I don't hear God clearly.
• I can keep asking.
• I can move on.
• God is God.
• there is no other God than God.
• God will reveal to me as God sees fit. 
• sometimes God will reveal to me clearly.
• sometimes God won't.
• God is both revealing and mysterious.
• God's ways are not human ways.
• human ways are not God's ways.
• God, and the bible, tell me much about God.
• I reject other human beings who presume to speak for God.
