What does it mean for God to be relational?
I’ve been re-reading Don Miller’s Searching for God Knows What this week. I’m not really sure why that’s what I pulled off the shelf. Perhaps I saw Don’s twitter feed right before my selection, perhaps it was happenstance. I don’t really know.

First, I’d like to say thanks to everyone who has commented so far, both here and on other media. The comments have been extremely helpful, even if I haven’t taken the time to give a long reply, and this entry stems from one of those comments.
