Current Tunage: Pedro the Lion – Rejoice
A melancholy note on which to end this school year’s writing. Perhaps fitting? Regardless, it’s time to party…

I was reading Christianity Today’s review of Tim Keller’s “The Reason for God” this morning, after FINISHING MY FINAL PAPER and, though I haven’t read the book yet, I have been feeling thankful for writers like Keller. I’ve enjoyed his stuff before, but I’m thankful that the best-selling wave of New Athiesm that washes over our bookstores and cultural subconscious has not gone unanswered. I’m thankful that it has been answered strongly, and well.

Having had some very telling, very good, very challenging conversations with friends who really don’t believe in Jesus at all this week, I find myself looking forward to… well… now. I’m looking forward to using the next few months, among much wedding planning and working, to hone some serious weaknesses in my ability and preparation to “give a defense to anyone who asks me for a reason for the hope that is in me”.

And on that note:

FREEDOM!!!
