Theological Ping-Pong



When I started the YouTube channel where I talk about my religious views, which eventually lead to me expanding it into this Blogspot page, I had been reluctant for a while to do it.  Therefore, I called the channel My Reluctant Theology, as I had been reluctant to put it together.  It fit where I was back then.

If it was yesterday when I had started these pages, rather than calling it My Reluctant Theology, I would have called it Theological Ping-Pong.  Why?  Because I feel like a theological ping-pong ball. I look at some of my videos and some of my blogs, and I sometimes wonder if I agree with the views that I wrote down.  Sometimes, I do.  Sometimes, I don't.  However, I feel that it works that my posts are an expression of my continuous changes.

I'm like a theological soccer ball, traveling all over the field, and when I reach a goal, I'm thrown back into the field.  As soon as I feel like I have it all figured out, I am suddenly thrown back into the field.  Sometimes, I love it, and I truly embrace it.  Other times, it feels upsetting.  I'm unsure whether this continuous journey will end, but I'm not sure if it's supposed to.

Shalom!
