My blog's current subtitle is: pursuing well-formed opinions. It has been since late 2006.
In the past, it has read things like:
an experience of life & theology (2004 and before)
he through who faith is righteous (2004-2006)
frustrated with his lack of code skillz (2006)
a strange coming-together of thoughts (2006)
I've never really explained these, but I figured that the current one should get some airtime.
I credit Alanis Morisette and her song, 21 Things I Want In a Lover for part of my wording. In her song, she is listing the twenty-one things that she prefers, though not necessarily needs, in someone. Among them....
Do you derive joy from diving in and seeing that loving someone can actually feel like freedom?
Are you funny? A-la self-deprecating?
Like adventure? And have many formed opinions?
I think her little list rang a little bell in me that I don't want my blog to be just random stuff (a change from a previous subtitle), but purposely helping me form well opinions about many things I bump up against in life.
Right now, I'm currently trying to form my opinion of the believer's relationship to the law and in particular, indwelling sin. I'll have updates about it, likely, as I progress through my forming. For any interested, I am going through John Owen's The Nature and Power of Indwelling Sin, a book I've never read before.
Much has precipitated this, but I won't bore you with those details.
I'm also suffering, as long as we're being honest, with not wanting to say too much. I want to be precise, but I'm starting to fall off on the "I'm saying so little I'm not saying anything" side of the issue.
All right. To bed. Remember, tomorrow is SPRING FORWARD. :o)
You taught me a new word: indwell. I find that the challenge is not always forming your opinions but sticking to them. Best to you on your journey.
Ah, so THIS is what you were writing when you kept playing back bits of that Alanis song! :)
I like.
