During this time of physical distancing a lot of us have made the choice to stay at home in an effort to slow down the pandemic. However in this time of slowing down and in a sense stillness I find that in me a lot of old and new wounds, anger, hatred and desire for revenge and justice are starting to bubble to the surface. If you read my previous blog you can sort of understand why.

I was having a conversation with a good friend about our different world views, she was approaching it from a spiritual almost mystic perspective and I was coming form a Christian point of view. We weren’t trying to convert each other but trying to understand what we each believe and still respect each other afterwards. One of the points she brought up was the question, if God is good and loving why is there suffering?

Lately I have been thinking on the nature of the Triune God, in the sense of what is God. The bible goes to great length to describe the character of God, and the power of God. However, it doesn’t spend too much time expounding as to what He is exactly, other than the fact He seems to be made up of more than one individual. Over the centuries many people have tried to make sense of the unity as well as the individuality of God as three beings who equate to one entity.
