Reflections

Here are three more reflective theological exercises for you. They are similar to the one I posted in "Little Theologians."

Again, I invite you to fill one or all of them out on your own and post them into the comments section. I'd love to read your words. Also, as a reminder, you don't need to spend lots of time thinking about your answers; just write what comes to you first (as it is more telling about your view of self, theology, world, etc.).

Enjoy.

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.
