"I was talking to a homeless man at a laundry mat recently, and he said
that when we reduce Christian spirituality to math we defile the Holy.
I thought that was very beautiful and comforting because I have never
been good at math. Many of our attempts to understand Christian faith
have only cheapened it. I can no more understand the totality of God
than the pancake I made for breakfast understands the complexity of me.
The little we do understand, that grain of sand our minds are capable
of grasping, those ideas such as God is good, God feels, God loves, God
knows all, are enough to keep our hearts dwelling on His majesty and
otherness forever."
