The other day Jordan and I were having breakfast talking about this very thing. He mentioned that he doesn't really like talking about God with other Christians. When I asked him why he said that he feels like it turns into some match of holiness. It is funny how God, once we reach a certain level of "maturity", becomes a subject of analysis -- a problem to be solved -- not someone to be experienced. It seems however, that those seemingly less mature Christians have the raw, organic, person of Yahweh so much more clearly than I do. Wish I knew how to switch mindsets...
