Have been pondering this one. I know its a bit of a theological minefield, just wondering if anyone has any thoughts? Can God be our heavenly mother? Do we need a heavenly mother? What is the role of the Holy Spirit? (apparently denoted in the feminine gender in the Hebrew... ) talk to me wise people!
Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing!
... thats a kinda of female thing... ie the "her" bit...
also there is a lot about God and breasts, in the best possible way, and gathering people to them - its interesting searching in the bible for breasts :-)
