Being honest

So, after a blogging sabbatical, I'm back. I thought about making up some story about giving up blogging for Lent, but the truth of the matter is, I was just sick, busy, lazy or some combination of all three.

Today is the first full day of spring break, so I celebrated by taking a trip to my new favorite place, the Radio Cafe. They have a coffee there called Celtic Grog, and it is simply the best thing ever.

As I was sitting there today, I began to flip through a book of theological reflections/ prayers that I began about 16 months ago. First, I was reminded of how much I have grown. After that, I was stopped dead in my tracks by something that I wrote last year:

Tell God where you have doubts and worries.

It seems simple enough, but how often do we try to hide our doubts from God? I know I am guilty of this, and I suspect that I am not alone. We are called to love God with our minds. How can we faithfully do this if we are not honest about the places where we do not understand or believe?
