[September 2001 journal entry]
During a Sunday adult discussion at a nearby Presbyterian Church (USA), the pastor asked, “What reminds or focuses you on the greatness of God?” All answers pointed to beautiful nature scenes. As I listened to the responses, my mind turned to the crooked/tragic experiences in nature and in human suffering. Near the end of the discussion, I mentioned listening to a symphony and listening to jazz. Such evidences of a remarkable human ‘spirit’ keep open the ‘God’ question for me.
