Little Theologians

One of my professors used to always say, "We are all little theologians." In honor of that idea, here's something to get you flexing your little-theology muscles.

Below you will find two seperate theological excercises to whet your God-minded whistle. Let me encourage you to make an attempt at filling out one or both during a few minutes of spare time. Simply, copy and paste in a Word document and have at it. Don't think too long or hard for the right answer, for in doing so you'll miss the point of the activity.

Enjoy.

God is....
God is like the color of orange, filling the earth with softness and brilliance. When I think of God, I think of a gardenia bush and the fragrance and beauty that it brings. I recognized God's presence most often when my little girl giggles. This is when I know that God is real. God must be bigger than my perspective because He is timeless. When I pray, I experience God as a friend. Often God whispers to me sweetly and at times yells to me clearly. The name I most use for God is Heavenly Father because it’s what I always heard growing up; I am exploring other names for God now. The most difficult characteristic for me to understand about God is God's tolerance of us. God's favorite game is hopscotch or kickball. I know this because God enjoys our laughter. The place where I saw God today is in the dark while putting my little one to bed. In this place God was present. Amen.





God is pure
God is tender
God is righteous
God is tolerant
God sounds like a bird song
God sounds like giggles
God sounds like a sand storm
God sounds like a steady beat
God's fragrance is like a camp fire
God's fragrance is like freshly baked bread
God's fragrance is like a puppy
God's fragrance is like earth
God feels like He is close
God feels like He is far away
God feels like a warm blanket to burrow into
God feels like the perfect bubble bath or hot shower
God is truth
