evolution
I may be ready to come back.
I miss this place.
I was thinking about people who don’t write; people who have no record of what they thought and felt and experienced 5, 10, 40 years ago. It’s sad; I picture a man sitting on a recliner, not remembering his joys, his sorrows, the excitements and that which was commonplace a few years ago. Some movies have picked up on this: I just recently watched About Schmidt and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
I want to remember high school: what my motivations were, what I did with my time, what I learned, what movies I watched, what gave me the spark of life, how my worldview was shaped. I definately think I will want to read my old journals again and again, reminding myself even of the mundane.
I am almost finished with A New Kind of Christian. It is shaping me, revealing how I have changed, challenging me, and giving words and (more) concrete definition to what I have been feeling. My ecclesiology is evolving; it is changing everything else. More to come – in fact, this blog may evolve into primarily my thoughts on the church.
