The vast noise in my head alerts me to the fact that some of the discussion at Disputations have touched upon areas that I need to work on. It is incredible how resistant we can be to the truth when it comes too close to home. But when I begin to ask important questions I find that the answers according to my present way of thinking end up incoherent. Hence, it is my notion that must change once again.
Just when you think you have a handle on reality, someone goes and throws a wrench in it.
What I enjoy most about Tom's Disputations is the quality of theological monkey wrenches he throws in. I have also come away more than once having to rethink a subject.
*That* what to get Tom for Christmas - a wrench with the Dominican logo embossed (?) upon it :-)
