Today I am writing a paper on the nature and origin of sin. A fun, lighthearted topic to say the least. It is becoming a controversial topic in some evolutionary-theological circles, and the debate is both fascinating and depressing. It is, however, also hopeful. As the Wesleyan theologian Wiley says, you cannot study the nature of sin without also studying the nature of redemption. In recognizing sin, the absolute and perfect redemption found in Christ becomes more and more evident.
In scouring Jesus' words for some insight into the origin, I came across this verse:
"Woman, you are freed from your sickness." Luke 13:12b.
Hooray!

No matter where I am living in the world, I always return to Lake Michigan. There's a house in the dunes where I like to hang a hammock and sleep. But I'm not there right now.
I'm in Pittsburgh, figuring out life as a writer, a writing instructor, an imperfectly whole yogini, an amateur theologian, a nontraditional wife, a cat-owner, and a new homeowner.

Lake Michigan is now a refuge and spiritual haven. Hence: pilgrim. Although - God hangs out by the Allegheny River too.
So many books, so little time...
