exploding brains



I have a head cold, so that's probably not helping, but my brain feels like it's going to blow up from all the stuff running through it.  I think I need a nap.

Personal Savior

Recently I've been grappling with one of the basic tenants of Christianity - the personal savior.  I haven't read much on it, but I'm pretty sure someone else has already thought this through much more eloquently than I will.  And yet, that doesn't mean I don't get to think about it myself... God has gradually become a more central piece of my life in the past few years.  This is by design.  I want to strengthen my foundation as well as pass along faith to my children.  Maybe Catholicism, maybe not, but I want them to feel the love and solace that I have when I feel connected to God.  Like there is something infinitely bigger.  Something benevolent.  Something amazing.  That anything is possible and we are not limited nearly as much as we think we are.  I love Catholicism for many reasons, but the root of them is my connection to the community.  Lately I have been in a more evangelical circle that talks about what God (sometimes ...
