I have been thinking about how sometimes our relentless pursuit of orthodoxy, right thinking, or absolute truth can nueter God and how our incarnational action, orthopraxis embodied truth can illuminate God. So I wrote a poem about it inspired by our recent conversation with Tony Jones and a song I been jamming out to by Citezen Cope.
