Animal and Divine

Like Christ, we have two natures, the animal and the divine. 

We have inherited the Spirit of power to dominate the world around us, like Christ, like the beaver and the ant. We have inherited the Spirit of love to protect our children, like Christ, like the elephant and the hen. We have inherited the Spirit of love to nurture our children, like Christ, like the she-bear and the chimp.

About Ron Goetz

My first wife used to say, "There's nothing so sacred that Ron won't pick it apart." My desire to be a pastor -- that was a temperamental mismatch. She was so patient. If my birth mother had lived somewhere else, maybe I would've become a cold case detective. But I would have had to be J instead of a P, I think. And that mid-life reevaluation, starting adolescence as a GARB fundamentalist and transitioning to a non-theist, that gave me an unusual skill set.
