Patrick Oden has written a book that Barclay Press is going to publish. It’s about the Holy Spirit. One of the things reading this manuscript has done for me is to see that we have not given the Holy Spirit equal billing with the Father and the Son. The Spirit is a little scary. There is an out of control connotation with the Spirit. The Spirit seems to be a little more edgy than the Father and the Son and less understood.

The Spirit is my favorite of the three personalities. That's a little weird considering how much control I prefer to have over things. Still, he is the one who shakes things up, draws us close, and lives in us. He's scary in a roller-coaster thrill kind of way. I'm looking forward to this read. Thanks for pointing it out. -- Kathy
