Seeing as how it's been forever since I posted last and my real motivation for this post is class credit, I think I'm a bad blogger. But that's ok. Maybe I'll get back into it.
I was going to originally write about how I've been reading back through Genesis but instead I think I'm finding myself in a more somber mood--most likely due to the fact that I'm listening to the Weepies and was told last week I was no longer allowed coffee by my doctor.
My friend, Tonia, and I were driving home to Dallas this weekend (both of us to see our sisters) and we got to talking about CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien and both men's writing. Tonia started telling me about a book by Lewis she was reading, a part of his fantasy series I didn't even know he'd written, called-- well now I don't remember the name of it but I'm going to borrow it so I'll edit this and put the name in it. Anyway, she was telling me that I would LOVE this book because the overarching theme examines harmony between creatures. The premise is that people have discovered a planet where everything lives in a peaceful coexistence with one another and the people were trying to explain our world to them and the concept of strife is incomprehensible.
This is one of like 3 times that someone has commented that I would enjoy this or that because of all the harmony in it--
Which is normal because I do like harmony and I've only recently realized how much. When I first took the strength finder's test for Baylor it told me harmony was my top strength and my second strength was connectedness. I didn't even realize that either of those were helpful. I wanted something like responsible or innovative. I've become more ok with them since.
--but it got me thinking about why I like the idea in the first place. The obvious answer is that EVERYONE likes this but I seem to bend over backwards to foster it at times. After a night of pondering the subject I decided it's because it's one of the core values taken from the garden of eden and it's like my spirit longs for it or something which makes sense if that's how we were all created to live.
Anyway, this post was originally about something other than myself but I'm not sure where I was going now that I'm here.
So, with that, expect more posts soon.
Have a happy Monday!
