How does one make sense of the life and teaching of Jesus? He describes a kingdom that is perfect and which he rules as king. His kingdom is still coming, yet we begin to live as its citizens now. He asks us to live like him. But how is that possible? Jesus did miracles routinely. He said he actually was God. He often faced deadly peril with perfect calmness, and at times he was fully aware of what was in other people''s minds. How can I live like that? It is this challenging, frustrating, marvelous, troubling, mind-blowing life and teaching of Jesus that we find in the gospel record, and that I have tried to make clear in these pages.

Ruminations is a synopsis of developmental belief that began in my 20s and has grown exponentially to date. I am a confessed liberal/progressive and firm believer in my required oath on admission to the State Bar of Georgia, i.e. to uphold, honor and defend the Constitutions of the United States and of the State of Georgia "so help me God." That embraces the proscriptions of our forefathers in creating the Republic known as the United States of America. Thus, any attempt by anyone, politician or otherwise, to rebut the proscriptions and/or encourage others to do so is a crime punishable in the criminal courts of this nation. I am not aware of its implementation in my lifetime and I condemn the failure. It inspires my writing and validates my professional oath.
