A warring God

Like many struggle with wars in old order...known to us as Old Testament 
Stories ..tales ...a narrative of genocide, violence..abuse of women..people taken into slavery.
Wars against peaceful people whose land been invaded by Gods chosen people.
Not inspired
Cover your eyes stories
Hide away stories
Wrestle with meaning stories
Can they be true stories
What am l part of stories

Like you we need to discover the real truth of these stories and question
Ask tough questions
Try to wrestle with issues and dilemmas they raise up.

That the Church l feel pastoral able to belong too
One that does not simply accept because it written down but will ask can this be a real account?
What's changed in us or are we the same people of God who carry out the same 
...because we got God on our side people...

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
