Robservations about the last couple of days

Who knew a senior thesis, a ride around Atlanta, and a talk with the famous Bill Brown would not only add to my changing mindset of how to live but also where to live and even consider a step more in when I live. What do I mean about when I live? So, how I live has been drastically changing since marriage, through child rearing, and especially in God's ever-changing call on my life in ministry. This class has added an extra element to that through progressively retooling my reality and stripping away conveniences that I once saw as reality. The where has been on my mind since learning I would graduate sooner than I expected but was changed in my understanding of city patterns and co-housing. This where has led me to search out grid aspects, location near potential churches, etc. However this when I live came up first in our conversation about a non-linear time frame and how we are infected and impacted by this era in which we live but that hope remains in the understanding that the resurrection is as much relevant in this human made era as much as it was in any other era. However, my understanding of what living is has helped me retool my understanding of when it is I actually live. Do I live through my reliance on non-sustainable false senses of happiness and times of entertainment provided my modern convenience? Or do i live my life in the "mean time:" that time between this false sense of entertainment and convenience? This when has caught me looking to the resurrection for hope and to my sense of purpose and usefulness with shoulders shrugged. These past 2 weeks have lowered a veil and opened a door and I'm slowly stepping out of it.
