I appreciated Douglas Day Kauffman’s “God Does Have Hands Besides Ours” (April). My engagement with the mystery of God leads me to say more. Our understanding of God is much too small. Einstein’s theory of relativity states that energy equals mass times the speed of light multiplied by itself. Considering that the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second, that number is immense. It has been suggested that the energy equivalent of a metal paperclip would be 18 kilotons of TNT. Because God is love (1 John 4:6) and “in Christ, all things in heaven and on earth were created” (Colossians 1:23), I surmise that the Love we worship is a love of unimaginable energy. Everything — heavens and galaxies, Earth and all beings, quantum particles and energy radiations — derives from that Love-
energy. We are all part of God’s love!
