Faith
The search for meaning, purpose, and relationship. Our need for love compels us to seek it out, and when we find it, share it.

The challenge of speaking of the Trinity is that it is a mystery, a kind of paradox, that we think we must solve rather than love.

Pentecost gives us plenty to talk about each year. We must start with what it is we need to focus on—and some of what we don’t.
