Photo by TK ThompsonAs children, I’m sure we all got into trouble and hoped our parents wouldn’t find out! How often do we do something wrong as adults and hope that God won’t catch us with our hand in the proverbial cookie jar? Do you see God as a big teddy bear who turns a blind eye? Is He harsh, angry, and immovable, as in the Old Testament? Or does He judge with goodness and love?

Father Gary and Mother Alicia. Photo by TK ThompsonEver spoken, recited, chanted, meditated on, or prayed the “Our Father” and thought, “Huh?” For example, why do we say an expanded “Our Father” over what Matthew 6:9-15 says? Why do we have such variable phrases for the same words, such as “Our Father who is in heaven, uphold the holiness of your name” instead of “Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name”? And then we have “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”
