Knowing that the trinity is a mystery in no way excuses not exploring it. We should study it and speak it and live it until we think, "I've got it! I finally understand the triune God." And then God will come along and pull back another layer of the onion and say, "Well, what about this?" And there we are, back in the mystery of it all.
If you study physics, this is exactly what happens. The more Hawking et al probe into the mystery of just plain old matter, the more whole new worlds of the unknown open up. But thank God they probe. Each layer of understanding they achieve renders great benefit to mankind.
And so it should be with the triune God mystery. We dig, probe, unravel, see a bit, proclaim way too much, but the body politic of Christians is benefited. As you said to Countmeworthy, her view really is the fruit of Lee's teaching: we enjoy God.

SC........ EXCELLENT thoughts!!! I love EXPLORING everything about GOD & HIS WORD.
You mention Physics...There are Christians now exploring Quantum Physics too! Electricity etc...
But that's another topic to be discussed in another thread.
God is not enclosed in a BOX!!
