The Invincible God

Many people have shower revelations. I have bathtub reflections.

A couple mornings ago I as sitting in the bathtub reflecting on the "invincibility" of God. My thoughts came down to two questions; 1. how has our culture and our need to vindicate ourselves in front of our culture shape the way we think about the attributes/character of God? and 2. how has this influenced our reading of the biblical texts?

Stopping short of blasphemy, I tend to think that we adopted an "invincible" notion God as a way to protect ourselves.

Mead Update

i racked my mead for the first time about three weeks ago. it was beginning to clarify, and fermentation was definitely slowing down. after a couple of days i noticed clearish white flecks beginning to develop on the top - i knew it wasn't mold, but it didn't seem like natural proteins either. after consulting the local home brew store, i determined my mead had been plagued by the flowers of wine - most likely because of too much head space in the carboy. i immediately treated it with a double dose of crushed campden tablets and racked again. it has been about 10 days since the second racking, and the mead is perfectly clear. ideally i would have liked to let it age like this, but i'm thinking i will bottle early due to my flowers of wine problem. such a beautiful name for such an ugly disease...
