Omnipresence…sure God is everywhere, but haven’t you found places where He seems to be more present?  I am not really sure that I have theology for this, but I certainly have experience.  I would hate for my inadequate theology to rob me of communion with my Father.

Synagogue at Capernaum

There is a place in the archeological site where the city of Capernaum stood.  It is a synagogue.  Even though it is a synagogue from a few hundred years after Jesus time, it stands squarely on top of THE synagogue from Jesus’ day. 

THE synagogue…the place where Jesus looked at a woman who had been crippled for years, and set her free…and then He backed down His critics…the people whose theology prevented them from having an Encounter.  I like His style…

I know God is everywhere but I feel Him in overwhelming gentleness and strength every time I visit this place.                                                                                 I like His style.
