Faith Like...Penguins?

I love books that I can revisit multiple times and be given something different to ponder each time. I'm not talking about the kind of thinking where you deeply consider something for two seconds before moving on. No, I'm talking about the kind of thinking that stretches over days, maybe even weeks.

Remember a long time ago when I was sharing thoughts from The Shack? Yeah, that's one of those kinds of books. Blue Like Jazz is another. [It's by Donald Miller, in case you want to pick it up. Which you should. Just sayin'.]

Here's what's been ruminating in my head this go-round:

"You'd go crazy trying to explain penguins. It's best just to watch them and be entertained. I don't think you can explain how Christian faith works either. It is a mystery. And I love this about Christian spirituality. It cannot be explained, and yet it is beautiful and true. It is something you feel, and it comes from the soul."

I sense there's another post to come from that at some point, but for now I'm still thinking. :)
