A Smattering

Tonight's post will be a smattering of potential future post topics--ideas I would like to expand on at one point ... basically here's a list of what I would like to share. Plus, writing it down here will allow me to look back at my list if I'm in need of inspiration, and putting it down will allow me to hold myself accountable. I feel like if I make a list here, I will be more inclined and inspired to actually follow through and share my thoughts on these various topics.

Before I start, let me just add that it is six months to the day until Christmas. Yes, I notice these things and enjoy telling the world... Even if nobody cares...

Well, here is a preliminary list of what I'd llike to talk about on this blog in the weeks and months to come--rough topics--not set in stone...


--Masculinity and femininity in the Christian church: east and west, past and present.

--Sacred and secular: must these be separate domanins?

--Art, creation, and God.

--Some thoughts on the Christian trinity.

--Music and creation.

--Tolkien's interpretation of Earendel: Eärendil the ("ancient"?) mariner.

--My interpretation of Earendel: for what it's worth.


I do hope that posting this will encourage me to be more proactive about this blog that I've decided to undertake. I'm enjoying it so far ... it's just a lot more work, effort, commitment, etc. than I originally anticipated (as are most of life's endeavours). I will be back soon (I hope) to start humbly tackling one of these admittedly vast and ambitious topics!
