05/25/2002 Entry: ""
Panic is setting in.I've been away taking my dogs to their sitters (hence no updates), Ruth's not been well and we keep finding stuff that needs doing before we go away. And I've got three services tomorrow. Aaaaaagh!Tomorrow is Trinity Sunday, aka 'the Preacher's Graveyard'. What I can promise is that there'll be no attempt to "explain" the Trinity: no ice/water/steam, shell/white/yolk, body/mind/spirit or shamrock type illustrations, each in its own way a reinvention of some ancient heresy. God is not to be 'explained' nor can the doctrine of the Trinity be 'examined'. The proper response to God is not enquiry, but worship and wonder; the Trinity is not the subject for our investigation, rather the Trinity examines and tests us. Blessed be God forever!

A spoof Trinity illustration? That is a challenge - I might put my mind to that on the plane...

Your challenge for the week: explain the trinity in terms of making a cup of tea :)
