WEEK FIVE PROMPT
If I say, “Blue,” each person will have their own understanding of what color of blue I’m referring to.
In the same way, language is an interpretation of God and, therefore, each person’s understanding is different. If I say, “God,” everyone will have a nuanced understanding of what I am saying (don’t believe me, try it amongst your friends.) However, there is a TRUTH to God that is beyond the limits of language. Beyond the words, how and where do you experience God?
I had in mind the service in Norwegian today. I did not understand a word, but I walked away smiling and feeling blessed.
Candle in a Cave 
Symbol of the divine and of transcendence.
We have the sacraments, but there are some things that are sacramental in nature. Outward invisible signs of something far greater.
In music, in nature, in solitude, in art, in quiet contemplation, sometimes in community with others in beautiful places where you feel the spirit.
True to all. Things that go beyond knowledge.
Still enjoying your journey.

Thank you. Not the original plan but it’s definitely working out.
In the Bible. Acts 2:46. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with boldness and singleness of heart. 47) Praising God, and having favour with all the people……
I think, when you left the service you felt ‘in accord’ with like minded people. You were worshiping, not in the language spoken but within the spirit of all in attendance.
I like that answer. I like it a lot.
