I’m trying to discern who God is, and my more childish understanding of God as an old man who lives in the sky can be replaced by a broader understanding that will stand the trials of adult cares.

Conversation with my pastor today gave rise to these ideas:

God has an extreme “otherness.” God is not like us…different beyond just foreign.

If Christ could exist at all times and be born at one time, God can clearly do paradox. So praying to God calls his attention, while at the same time he was also always there. Not sure what the implications of that are yet.
