What a dreary day of driving through storms practically all day yesterday. Layne, my niece, took me to the Governor's Mansion in Jefferson City for a meeting where I was to speak on fund-raising, etc. The drive was awful and the drive was long but we made it back okay. Many problems at home so we stayed on the telephone all the way home.
How does this apply to theology? It really does. How do we treat our history and our past? How does one adapt the past to the present. Do we throw out the baby with the bathwater or do we allow the baby to continue to bathe long after that time is past? Has my theology changed to meet the needs of the present day? Or does it need to?
I hope to explore these thoughts today. Was too tired to think yesterday and dealing with the phone calls, my aching back and wishing I could fly away from home under an assumed name and lose my past forever. Won't happen! But I can wish, can't I! If only for a few minutes---when that infernal phone rings!
