Living through the Eulogy

This week has been like a living death, the way that transitions are. People telling you what they really think about you (hopefully), and asking about your plans. Reviewing all of the things you've done (or not) as you sift through papers. I'm leaving some undone tasks for my co-supervisor, which I feel bad about (kind of). Since it's the holiday season too, I've been eating lots of cake and other bad things.

On the faith path/books from dinner with Bill:

• The Postmodern God


• Postmodern Pilgrims by Leonard Sweet

Also readings by Paul Tillich and other things that David wrote down. There are so many different angles from which to approach and explore faith. I think with our academic background we're drawn to history, systematic theology, etc., but I also want to balance the head with the heart of Chrisitian living, prayer, relationships. I want to remember that I'm not hitting the books for the big test but actually have to learn and grow through living.
