I'm feeling a little defensive about the idea that there's something wrong with just knowing about God as opposed to knowing God. I'm learning a lot about Jesus right now as I read through and study the Gospel of Matthew, and I think that a large part of getting to know someone is knowing about their life outside of their direct involvement in mine. Then I have a better idea and context for his involvement in my life. Otherwise I feel like it's just a series of appointments with a professional counselor whom you know nothing about outside of those appointments... Anyway, that's just my soapbox and justification for enjoying studying about Jesus. Sorry.

Have you noticed how much Jesus talks about the Kingdom of God?
I feel like the more I know what Jesus was about when He was hanging out with Peter, John and the boys..the more I realize that I am guessing most of the conversation we would/should be having wouldnt be so focused on me.
Good point. (not mine..but yours....and I really like this photo..did you take it?_
