out of the closet about God

I am posting quotes on and off during a couple of periods in Feb. as I might not have my computer readily available. If I do, then I will post in addition to these.)

“By the way of full-disclosure, I believe in God. I’m pretty much out of the closest about that. More specifically, I believe in an all-loving, purposeful God who is willing to give us hard things so we might spiritually progress: not a made-for-Sunday-night-movie Diety whose only goal is, at the end of the day, to make sure a good time was had by all. That kind of being would be as impotent and uncaring as a parent whose only goal in sending their child off to college was to give them a place to party. Life is difficult. but is is also purposeful. And, spoiler alert, in the end love wins.”

I liked this book very much. Check it out.

Hi. I'm so glad you're here. My blog focuses on faith and mental health issues such as mood disorders like depression, anxiety, and dysthymia (chronic low moods that don't qualify as depression.) I post DIY and decorating projects when I can. My book, "Depression Has A Big Voice. Make Yours Bigger! (Expanded Edition), is on sale at all online retailers. I have a Psychology degree and post-graduate courses in Clinical Pastoral Education. I am a former hospital chaplain, Bible teacher, and retreat/conference inspirational speaker.
