This is an obsolete blog
I am in the long process of becoming "me," and this blog is not longer part of that process, or that person. It was real (in a virtual way) for a time. I am so thankful for the new present.

"Not all who wander are lost" ~J.R.R. Tolkien
“The Bible…does not release the Christian community, especially those [sic] gifted for the task, from the grind of studying and thinking about such matters.” ~John Peck, Uncommon Sense
Rational thought is the servant of faith: “Unless thou believe, thou shalt not understand.” ~Saint Augustine of Hippo
"If we ignore our culture we will be destined simply to reproduce it and those who are wedded to the spirit of this age are destined to be widowed in the next." ~Dean Inge as quoted by Dr. Craig Bartholomew
'Love bade me welcome, yet my soul drew back, Guilty of dust and sin. But quick-ey'd Love, observing me grow slack From my first entrance in, Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning If I lack'd anything."A guest," I answer'd, "worthy to be here"; Love said, "You shall be he." "I, the unkind, the ungrateful? ah my dear, I cannot look on thee." Love took my hand and smiling did reply, "Who made the eyes but I?" "Truth, Lord, but I have marr'd them; let my shame Go where it doth deserve." "And know you not," says Love, "who bore the blame?" "My dear, then I will serve." "You must sit down," says Love, "and taste my meat." So I did sit and eat.' ~George Herbert, Love III

You probably work in computers, or a history deptartment at a college. You never really fit in with the "normal" crowd. But you have friends, and this is a good thing.

Nice to see your photo of Charles Williams' grave. You might be interested in my Blog, The New Christian Year. It is a blog reprint of a devotional that Charles Williams collected in 1941. Quotes from saints and thinkers from all of christian history are collected for each day of the church year. You can find it at:

By the way, the Michael Williams burried in the front is his wife. He renamed her "Michael" when she laughed at him, naming her after the wife of David (the king of Israel) who laughed at him when he danced naked before the arc of the covenant. I have a copy of The New Christian Year given by her to Dorothy Sayers after Charles Williams' death. He introduced Sayers into such a love of Dante that she learned Italian to make the translation of the Divine comedy that would be the standard for decades to come.
