I apologize for the delay... I've been sitting on something for some time, and i didn't think i could write anything without mentioning it. For the past week, everything i experienced was filtered through that. And not that i love suspense, but, you'll have to wait a few more weeks to find out.

On to what i can tell you...

I've decided its time for me to start reading. After not being challenged intellectually for the past 8 months, Im afraid that if i fail to stimulate my brain, its going to turn to mush and i'll only discuss facebook, twitter, or reality television.

I just started and finished CS Lewis' The Great Divorce. I loved the way Lewis presented his theology in an easy to read conversation. Most of the theology i've heard in the past 4 years has felt like its had a southern conservative spin (propaganda). In that same 4 years, i would describe my soul as undergoing some sort of reawakening... I would latch on to what i could affirm and that which troubled me I would assign to being "grey area." So, this read was refreshingly different. At every point his ideology challenged my own, i had no way of demeaning or belittling his logic (He's from a different time and space). All i could do is let it settle and resolve within me. Which is good. Because while my ideas on faith are wide, im not very open-minded.
