What a great interview. Added Dr. Townes to my Christmas book list. This was just what I needed for a long long drive in the snow. What a great interview. Added Dr. Townes to my Christmas book list.

Where I come from that is almost tantamount to the lion lying with the lamb. I like posing the "big questions" at the end, btw. Did I just hear a Baptist reference the Wesleyan quadrilateral?

The way she speaks and what she says really resonated with me. She talked about Everydayness; goodness in our actions, spending each day finding out what God would have us to do and doing it. This she says, is not a heavy thing to do but one that is intentional by us and eventually brings us an attitude of joy. We are encouraged to encourage others to think about our every moment. Where is God in that moment? I have found that thinking about God as I go through each moment of the day brings things out into the open and I see and experience so many tiny wonderful gifts from God when I do this (this is my thought). We can take command of our lives, she says. Salvation is not a past tense, it is an ongoing process. One of the things she mentiones about the church is that a church is a place where everybody is somebody. When asked about God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit and other things she responded that God is a presence; in us, around us, over us, beneath us, etc. It is the Holy Spirit that helps her to get up in the morning and she can be hopeful. For her, goodness should be in our actions and we have the ability to choose what those actions will be. I would love to hear more from her.
