Who would have thought my shriveled heart/ Could have recovered greenness? It was gone/ Quite underground; as flowers depart/ To see their mother-root when they have blown;/ Where they together/ All the hard weather/ Dead to the world, keep house unknown. -George Herbert

Why I'm Blogging
Well, I guess boredom would be the main reason... But beyond that, I write to figure things out. Just a little trick of how my mind works, I really can't think about anything seriously without writing about it. After years of writing privately, journaling or diary-writing or whatever the kids call it nowadays, I've decided to start putting some of my rambles and rants out there; not because I feel I have anything particularly valuable to say or an emo "need to express myself, but to invite others to come wrassle with these things along side me. My conception of how community works is that everything, once given to God, returns to us where no one can claim ownership of it. So, for example, if I ask a question that brings out something in someone else, neither one of us can claim it, we share it so far as we share in Him. So I hope this all is educational, that it educes things from me and from whoever takes the time to read this; its your blog too. Ramble on.
