I've had blogs before, but I want to start one that is actually helpful and informative, not merely a place for me to showcase my thought process.
I recently received a copy of "The Art of War and Other Classics of Eastern Thought" for Christmas. I also have largely replaced my video game hobby with an increase in reading a variety of literature. Upon starting to reread The Art of War, I realized many of its concepts could be easily applied to spiritual warfare - the importance of discipline, preparation, knowing your enemy, etc. Many other works I read can be readily compared to Christian concepts - The Prince by Machiavelli, the political musings of Cicero, the current debate over energy (which is what I study in grad school, as a side note).
I am starting this blog in order to examine unconventional areas that many don't see value in in order to point out the overlap of many concepts and how works and areas of study we rarely apply to the Christian life can shed great light on new ways to approach that living.
I have no posting schedule. I have no definitive guide. If you read this, it will be pretty close to stream of consciousness for me. But I expect God will continue to show me interesting things like He has been through all this. Coming later today (or tomorrow, no schedule, remember?) I will kick this off. I hope I get a couple people to join in.
