Swimming with all your clothes on...

He who dabbles in theology while still in the passions is like one who tries to swim with his clothes on.
- Saint John Climacus

I was reminded of this article at our Men's fellowship and managed to find it online. When I first read it - quite awhile ago as I believe this link takes you to a reprint (by the way, the article is on page 6) - I was really floored by it. There is so much truth in St. John's statement (as well as the article) that I hasten to offer any explanation on my own. It reeks of truth and beauty and I've no prerogative to venture into such realms right now.
