Knowing God

I have been reading Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time: The Historical Jesus & the Heart of Contemporary Faith, by Marcus J. Borg which I find very enjoyable and informative. He refers to Jesus as "a spirit person, one of those figures in human history with an experiential awareness of the reality of God", which reminds me of myself. I experience daily a force or power that others refer to as God, as do I, for convenience. I have said many times that I would be foolish to deny that presence. Today I have been reflecting on the fact that I actually find it difficult to conceive of a life where that concept was only theoretical.
