grappling

at church last night we talked about healing (Matthew 8). i don't really know my theology of healing. how much faith does it take? or is it even about faith? and is it all about physical healing or does 'restore' refer to spiritual healing and reconciliation? lots of questions. no conclusive answers. i realized that i have a mostly human perspective on death. that i lose sight of the eternal life hopeful part about it. and that's struggling with those who are followers of Christ. the eternal damnation thing is even harder.

on another note, a couple of weeks ago we were hanging out with some friends at their house in san anselmo (home of the best bagels in Marin). anyway, they have a 17 month old girl who is absolutely brilliant and precious. she fell asleep on my lap. gosh. amazing.

i've been thinking about kids and i eventually want some, but these days the choice is between me going back to school to get a degree i can actually use for a career or having kids. it's not an either/or. if i go back to school, we'll just wait until i finish before starting a family. and if i went back to school, i'd be working full time as i went back to school. and it'd be three years of school, which includes intern hours. i've applied to the local community college to take some prerequisite courses. that would be to get my feet wet. i'm hoping that after taking those classes i'll have a better idea if this is what i should and want to be doing.

that's all for now.
