So far this blog has been all about strictly Spiritual things, my bible study, prayer, etc. But I’m about to branch out a little bit and make this blog about my thoughts in general, Partially because “spirituality” and my relationship with God really does encompass and color everything in my life, but also because I have other things I want to write about. So this blog is about my journey – as a person.
In “Letters to Malcolm; Chiefly on Prayer“* C.S. Lewis says this about religion:
It carries the suggestion that this is one more department of life, an extra department added to the economic, the social, the intellectual, the recreational, and all the rest. But that whose claims are infinite can have no standing as a department. Either it is an illusion or else our whole life falls under it. We have no non-religious activities; only religious and irreligious. (Emphasis mine.)
So, while some of my posts will be a little less preachy (Hallelujah!). All of this life is my spiritual journey, my religion – the very thing that brings me into communication with God; you can’t separate spirituality and “regular life” at all. So even if I am just complaining about cooking (and I will!) There is some element of God in my line of thinking, even if He is not specifically mentioned.
I’m still Circling Jericho. I’m wandering marching in circles, trying to do what He asks of me, even when it doesn’t really seem like I’m getting anywhere with it all.
