October Update

So far, this October has been delightful. With the wonderful, and completely adored, addition of Meghan as a large part of my life, I have been very happily busy. Also, it's finally cooling down here in Southern California, which means I can finally break out my long-sleeves, sweaters, and coats. I'm really looking forward to it.

I just finished C.S. Lewis' Surprised by Joy and I loved it. Especially the last couple chapters. Lewis has had a large impact on my Christianity and my perception of the world and God. Thank you C.S. for all your beautiful writing and theology. If you're looking for some reading, I'd really suggest his book The Weight of Glory. If there is any book of his that has affected my life so much, it is that one.

God is doing some amazing things in my life, and I'm finding that He is using me more than ever before. There are a lot of details to it, but frankly, God is totally using Meghan to speak to me. God has been using me in ways I've never thought of before and ways I have thought of before, but was far too scared to actually follow through with.

So things are great. Life is beautiful, and I'm preparing for the future. I can't wait to see what God has in store.
