Instructions Before Reading
I stand by the right to publish incomplete snippets. The point of this blog is to share life. If there is a unity in my life, it will become apparent what that unity is. No post is a complete thought, theology, worldview, or poem within itself, it must be taken within the context of the entirety of this blog, considerations of who I am in public as well as who I am in extreme situations like when I am forced to wake up at 4:30 in the morning to help my wife jump start her car in 20 degree weather.
I recognize my right as a flawed human being to do the following: 1) be wrong, 2) change my mind, 3) be inconsistent, 4) have improper grammar and spelling conventions. You are just as flawed, wrong, capricious, and prone to theological alteration as I am... so get over it.
Mingling the Daily and the Divine.
I find myself synchronizing the transcendent and the trivial. Is any one event, time, or place more sacred than any other? I find myself not necessarily wanting the 'sacred' to become more normal, rather I want the normal to become more sacred. I want to see the God of the universe transcend even the trivial parts of my life. I long for the day when my intense connection with God is not dependent on my context, my disposition, or activities.
