Who is this?

We talked about God's omniscience, omnipresence, and omnificence today in Sunday School. The discussion centered around Psalm 139, where David contemplates these three big attributes of God. We tend to know that God knows all things, is with all things, and created all things in our heads, but sometimes we think we can hide things from God, which is silly. We don't take the time David did to contemplate and reflect on the nature of God as much as we ought. The thing that is really mind-bending for me is that God is outside of time and space. Meaning that he is with us now, and is with us yesterday, and is with us tomorrow. The Bible mentions that God is the God of Jacob and Issac and Abraham (I just cannot find the passage where). It uses the present tense and not the past tense, which means that God operates on a whole different plane than we do, if He is still working through people who are long dead. He's not bound by the limitations we are, and it makes the mind ache to really think about it. Still, would you really want a god who wasn't all of these things? If He's not omnipresent, omnificent, and omnipotent, how powerful could He be? I've said it before and I repeat it now: I don't want a god who acts like humans.

On a lighter note, we gave the bunny a bath today, and she seemed to like it. Put a little lukewarm water in a dishpan, and put her in, and she didn't hop out. She just kind of sat there like the water felt really good. She was a good bunny (though I find it's really difficult to get mad at a bunny--they're just too darn cute). Tia is currently running around in the bunnery.
