states “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” So how close was God to Himself? Sadly, religious tradition has this hang up about a distant God and that we must do something to get back to Him. But, according to John, the disciple who really knew Jesus, God is extremely close to Himself. Huh? Then, what to do with the ‘God is faraway’ mindset? Hey, do you know laughing, joking, playing, and smiling were happening during creation!? That sure doesn’t sound like distance going on. Listen and be wowed!
