Hey — do you
Understand
What this is?
Please expand
My knowledge!
My small brain
Cannot grasp
(all in vain)
Mystery
And You are
Conundrum
Far afar
Yet You are
Also near —
In my dreams
You appear!
But I am
So perplexed
Please tell me —
What comes next?
So they were saying, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We do not know what he is talking about.”
John 16:18
I love this confession by the disciples — “We don’t know what he’s talking about.”
And I love even more that Jesus didn’t force them to ask the question. He knew what they were wondering and tackled it, explaining to them what He meant.
This year for the A-to-Z challenge, I’m challenging myself to write a Cethramtu Rannaigechta Moire every day. I can’t pronounce it, but I can tell you that it’s an Irish poetic form that requires 3 syllable lines in quatrains. The second and fourth lines rhyme.
Additionally, I’ve been collecting questions for a few years — specifically questions from the Bible. I have a big problem with people who think they know everything, especially religious people.
The more someone thinks they know God, the converse is true. I know less about God today than I did last year or five years or twenty-five years ago. I have so many questions.
Turns out the Bible is full of questions.

Hehe! Oh yes! The disciples were often clueless but loved nonetheless! The patience Jesus exhibited toward his followers was amazing…. And always so willing to lay it out for them clearly when they just didn’t “get it” when he talked to the crowds in parables!
Many times the disciples highlighted just how OK God is with our human limits of understanding 💞
