Jazz
I'm reading Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller right now. I love his analogy between God and Jazz--it really resonated with me. He says, "I never liked Jazz music because Jazz music doesn't resolve."
Then Donald Miller watched a street corner saxophonist play Jazz music for fifteen minutes with his eyes closed. He says, "After that I liked Jazz music. Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself."
Then Miller says, "I used to not like God because God didn't resolve. But that was before any of this happened."
What a great description of God--jazz music. He doesn't always resolve. And that can drive us crazy. But it is beautiful music if you've got the ear for it. Maybe heaven will be jazz-like?
