Strange Day

Today was one of the strangest days of my life. I've been unusually introspective. Today some friends were talking about the Virginia Tech tragedy, and how the youth aren't taught how to defend women anymore. It brought back some painful memories of a certain Wednesday night shortly before my parents divorced.

I also realized how much I cherish the friends I have made here. I'm not referring to my college buddies whom, although I like them quite a bit, I haven't spent much time with, and whom I cannot bring myself to confide in. I'm talking about friends I've made at Saint Andrew's Community Church. They've taught me quite a lot (whether intentionally or not) about practical, everyday things, like the married life and raising children. I dare say that this past semester has been the most influential on me to date.

I also experienced a paradigm shift today. I'm not sure I can even put it into words, or even begin to explain it. I just know that at some point while at the Andersons' house, I started thinking differently about things. And I feel good about the change.

As a side note, I finished Robert Booth's book on baptism. He does an excellent job explaining the biblical position for paedobaptism, especially for people with a baptistic church background. Recommended for all of my friends back home. And if you don't read it, I'll talk about it anyway. So you might as well read it and prepare yourself, haha.

Jesus, Lover of my Soul

An old friend and spiritual mentor of mine left a comment on my last "Religious Conversation" Post . It provoked so much thought that I wanted to share it with everybody, because I know quite a few of my religious friends are reading this, and I know quite a few of you who would make a similar statement. Here it is: There is an element in this conversation that is being overlooked (at least, I presume). There is an aesthetic beauty and, more, an affection, which Steven appears to have for God. This is not illogical; in fact, all human beings exhibit it for something. It may be subjective, and it is not conclusive, but it is completely logical. And I can't imagine an argument that would refute it. It is something like a man saying, "I love my wife. I appreciate her many virtues and charms; I believe her to be the woman most worthy of my affection and lifelong commitment." If I say this and someone were to say to me, "But EVERY man says that of his bride!

The Clink (New Friends)

Each other is all we have. It's no surprise, then, that when we think about the chapters of our lives, those chapters usually begin and end with the beginning and ending of relationships. My current chapter began in July 2016, when I made the move from Philadelphia to Denver. In many ways, it was the fulfillment of a promise made between Peace Corps friends; Carly, Evan, and I spoke often of our desire to live in the same place some day, and after two wonderful years spent with Kyla, it was time for me to join them. The great advantage to this arrangement is that Evan and Carly had been cultivating friends in my absence, so upon my arrival last summer, I was met with a wonderful group of people who had been carefully conditioned by Evan and Carly to like me. Readers of this blog will remember Evan and Carly from my Peace Corps days. They were the closest I had to family for two years, and by the end of our service, we were inseparable. Evan Pappy.

Religious Conversation With An Old Friend - Part 2

Keeping with the tradition of posting a religion-related comic before the serious  conversation: Okay, so here we go with letter* #2: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Stephan! Good to hear from you, man! I'm glad you responded to that post, actually. I post those in hopes that my Christian friends will respond. You're one of my Christian friends that can talk about these things without being unreasonable and/or put off. First you say,  Such a list saddens me, because many of those items can be easily explained through actually studying the context (textually & culturally), as well as distinguishing "paradox" from "contradiction". I know exactly what you mean. I'm familiar with many of these explanations. For me, the important thing isn't that there are alleged contradictions in the Bible per se or that there are alleged workarounds; the important point for me
