We are slowly unpacking all our stuff.

It’s when you move and essentially are forced to take inventory of everything you own that you realize just how much stuff you’ve really got. Too much stuff? Maybe. One of the guys unloading the truck for us joked with me, saying, “Y’know, Reverend, I don’t think Jesus needed this much stuff to spread the word!”

Nope. He didn’t.

Anyway, it occurred to me today while I was surfing some friends’ Facebook pages that I sure spend a lot of time sounding theological on this blog. Not that that’s bad. I love reading and learning and sharing what I’m thinking.

But sometimes you have to return to the basics. That’s what all the theology is about, anyway.

So, while I was looking at the Facebook page of one of my old youth group students (now in college), I saw that for her “Religious Views,” she wrote, “Jesus loves me, this I know…”

And that’s it. That’s what all the theological mumbo-jumbo comes down to.

Jesus loves me. This I know, for the Bible tells me so…
