--I went to a theological seminar today and discovered that I could say just about anything on the topic of theology and it would be better than the stuff I was hearing is prevalent today!  So motivated, I am working feverishly toward the topic in theology I'm most interested in--what it means to 'draw nigh to God.'

I've just written up what I believe to be the instructive nature of the Gospels to improve upon our initial contact with God, the power of the universe, and His Son, Jesus Christ.  This jargon may seem not theological, but downright the language of the believer in contact with God already.  That's because God is everywhere; and we just need to attune ourselves to His Presence.  The reason for nourishing this relationship of God to man in the omni-presence of God in the world is to enable us to become even more Godlike, by drawing upon His power.  In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit is the vehicle by which man comes to draw 'nigh to God.'  But the Bible tells us, we need to over and over again establish that moment of contact with God through God's Holy Spirit.  I shall use the Eucharist as the exemplar of how this is accomplished.
