What's the Point?

And the answer is...I still don't know. Apparently I still have things to say and consider the public medium of internet to be too tantalizing to pass up, so for now I will succomb and share some things that I hope to be helpful, or thoughtful, or at least mildly amusing.

Lately (as in the last several months) I have been intrigued and drawn toward theology and doctrine of the semi-studious kind. I don't think I'll even make the leap to college classroom like I always hoped I would, as the older I get, the more work at home there seems to be and so I am happily preparing for future needs while attending to the work around me. This means that my "studies" happen in spurts--couple of hours reading blogs, a few minutes looking up a verse, a weekend in conversation with people who know more than me (my oldest son, David, in particular), and so on. This isn't the best method for putting pieces in their proper place, but it keeps me moving forward and I am as engaged as ever to want to understand things I never even knew existed prior to a couple of years ago.  My thanks to the awakening arranged by the Holy Spirit via a little church plant in Cincinnati by the name of Seven Hills, in the living room of Michael and Emily Foster. No one should ever be bored as an older "mature" Christian when there is so much more to learn and know about God, Christ, the Holy Spirit, His Church, and the history of it all as we look toward the future with Him.
