I apologize in advance for the length of this blog, but this has been a mind bottling week and I have a whole lot to say… So here it is… I had three really amazing conversations that all delved me deep into thought. I love theology and I love philosophy, and when you throw in a little bit of coffee and friends it makes for a really good time. So much happened in these conversations, that I can’t just write about all of them on here. Bits and pieces will leak out in time through my regular blogs, but all of these conversations are very connected on deeper and larger scale. I’ve really been inspired lately to want to write a book. I’m not a literary genius nor a poet in the simplest sense of the word, but I have a longing desire to piece together my thoughts, theories and observations about the world in a long cohesive blog better known as a book. As friends of mine have pointed out, it’s a very scary thing to just put your thoughts out there for someone to read, but I’ve gotten used to that with the few people who read my blog. You have to be careful too, because there’s a certain amount of prestige in the whole idea of being an author of any type, but I don’t want to be an author really. I’d actually be alright with publishing under another name… too bad Dr. Seuss is already taken. It’s so weird that I’m talking about this right now because I intended to write more about the week and here this came out. I guess I’ve been bottling up the idea for a while now. But back to the week… Lyz and I saw Dan in Real Life the other night, and It was amazing! Steve Carell is a phenominal actor and is brilliant in this movie. The music is great… The story is great… And it’s full of subtlety and humor. All around just a good flick. Twenty minutes ago I finished watching Stranger than Fiction for probably my seventh time or so. You can’t walk away from that movie and not feel great… Man. I’m seriously feeling kinda random and scatterbrained as I write all these thouhts out, but I guess it gives you a better glance into the inner workings of my mind. These theological conversations all leave me feeling a bit as if I was just a part of something really big… something much bigger than myself. I often wonder where the people around me will end up one day, and how our lives will intertwine in the future. I wonder if sometimes I’m sitting with the next C.S. Lewis or even- oh I don’t know… but you get the idea. If I ever do write this book, even if it’s twelve years from now, I’m sure these conversations and the notes scribbled down in them will find their way into the pages. I’m really excited about the future right now. There’s a lot to look forward to… but of course there always will be. Weather forecast this week: windy… (in a metaphorical sense)
