This Incredible Journey

The language of Christianity as a journey has been popular for some time now. I imagine it got really big in the 60s and 70s with all of those hippie freaks (I love hippies). The post-modern/emergent movements have used it much as well. I had heard it, and I guess I thought I understood it, even though I still looked at christianity with sin reconciliation as its primary focus. I thought I got it.

I didn't.

I have been changing lately. Absorbing as much info as possible. Listening to my "spiritual guides." Reading scripture (but not enough). Discussing with other christians.

Its been really neat. I read, I think, I discuss, our discussion takes us somewhere else, I figure something out, but not quite all the way. It just doesn't sit will with me. Then in the reading I do the next day the very question is answered and to my satisfaction. It's been uncanny.

So things are stalling a little bit on the whole Logos community thing. I haven't really plugged in to the group yet, though I will next week. I am desperate to start this community, I just fear that the group isn't headed toward action soon enough for my demands :) I haven't found a job for next semester yet, got some good leads but nothing definite. I'm so disconnected here in KDub that it hurts.

I train thursday for volunteering at Taft Coffee. I'm pumped! And then the new members meeting is soon after. I hope some of my favorite people at the church are involved in it. If not I'm sure I'll meet some new favorite people.

Thats all for now.

I'm reading Chasing Daylight (formerly Seizing your Diving Moment) by Erwin McManus. I'll chat about it later this week.
