There I was, eating a sandwich at 11:20ish AM Leap Wednesday morning, when my eyes did exactly what happens as a lovely woman walks by. Captivated by the message "Know Thyself" up on a wall nearby, there appeared further wisdom scattered about it. The glass between I and it served as no barrier. Opening the double doors and submitting to my urge for consumption, I read:
A/theist Creed
I don't believe in a God who is safe, gentle and passive.
I don't believe in a God who calls His people to all things comfortable and easy.
I don't believe in a God who is not good in every way.
I don't believe in a God that in His entirety, His intentions, methods, feelings, will and works can be bound between leather.
I don't believe that God's Word, the Bible, is itself His answer to our questions.
I don't believe in a God contained with or limited by man's ability to reconcile His (God's) seemingly contradictory and paradoxical nature.
I don't believe in a God that I can understand.
I don't believe in a God who created a broken world only to leave it behind and watch it from on high, indifferent to its struggle and strife for life.
I don't believe in a God who compromises His justice to accommodate a man who has done "good" but not accepted God's means of salvation (Christ).
I don't believe in a God who desires anything less than our deepest well-being and joy.
I don't believe in a God who isn't awful, fearsome and even dangerous.
I don't believe in a God who is anything short of wild and crazy to love.
I don't believe in a God who isn't love, a God, with whom my relationship could be anything less than a love affair.

Love it!! I feel so refreshed after being reminded that if God's ways were the same as mine, I would be tempted to forget how small my life is compared to His greater plan and purposes.I vote you print out copies and pass them around on campus so everyone can read it everyday!
