new voice

Well, I am finding my voice again. How long since I posted? Well, more how long since I was active? I spoke with a friend about blogging. He was not impressed with the movement as there were far too many voices. I have felt that, and thus ceased to write. But I am now learning to be comfortable with the idea--it does take a while to learn to be comfortable being one in 6million people and a speck in the universe. I am learning that my voice is all I have, my active participation, and the time I have is the present.
The nature of the content will be drastically different. I am now writing as a feminist, first of all. I also have ceased to follow the metanarative of Christianity. I am leaving it in search of a more wholistic one--one which not only includes myself but also the whole earth. I also am writing as a gardener. And a student, which is not new.

Well, I've joined the six million voices, too! There's gotta be room for one more. Your mom directed me here. We're at jeavonsjournal.blogspot.com.

In reponse to "new voice," you speak of Christianity as a "meta narrative," which, it seems to me, misses the entre point of it. If it's a narrative, then it's the greatest love story ever told about a God who gave up his son for us sinners out of sheer mercy and compassion. But more than that, it's a friendship with our Creator and Source of love and strength.

Have missed you! --Steve

Hi Cat! I didn't know you blogged! I used to blog! It's been ages! I don't know if I even remember how to find my blog! Anyway, I am going to stop exclaiming and try to be a responsible member of society!

PS: Yay for new stories!
