Day 2 of our journey to Colorado Springs (left Amarillo this morning; will cross into NM soon)

Bonhoeffer (quote from Marsh’s bio):

The earth that nourishes me has a right to my work and my strength. It is not fitting that I should despise the earth on which I have my life; I owe it faithfulness and gratitude. I must not dream away my earthly life with thoughts of heaven and thereby evade my lot—to be perforce a sojourner and a stranger—and with it God’s call into this world of strangers. There is a very godless homesickness for the other world, and it will certainly create no homecoming. I am to be a sojourner, with everything that entails. I must not close my heart indifferent to the earth’s problems, sorrows and joys; rather I am to wait patiently for the redemption of the divine promise—truly wait, and not rob myself of it in advance by wishing and dreaming.

Finished reading: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by Clive Staples Lewis 📚

Kristyn and I spent a few nights away in Comfort, TX on a marriage retreat (which was great!). At the inn where we stayed, they had some pictures up of (mostly) early modern philosophers. Not sure what to make of that…

Why do extroverts insist on calling themselves introverts?
