Describing God

Have you ever tried to describe God to someone who was unfamiliar with God? Thomas Aquinas once noted something to the nature that "we describe God in terms that we are familiar with." God is love. God is cool. God is a Father. We only talk in terms we know and are familiar with – I know "love", I know "cool", I know "Father".

Have you ever noticed that the more you learn, the more ways you have to try and express / explain God? May we never stop growing, may we never stop learning. Who knows, we may be getting closer to describing this indescribable Being we serve . . . but then again, maybe we're not.
