Reading journey

[dolfan]

Who here has read much of Kierkegaard? I confess I haven't. But, I believe I'm about to start. I'm nothing if not wordy here. One reason why is it is hard for me to say with my mouth what I'm thinking; my mind is faster than my mouth and I never am able to express fully what I'm thinking. Since I was a teenager I've been able to think through my fingers, so to speak. I can type my thought processes better than I can just rattle them off when talking. It also forces more precision, although I have failed there too many times, too. But, another reason I get really wordy here is because I get to unfold my thoughts, put them out, and get some feedback or at least a chance to see the thought once laid. Then, I chew on it some more.

Over the past couple of years or so, I've taken a decidedly anti-government stance on almost everything. By continuously coming here and saying what I've said, it has propelled me onto other thoughts as I go through my days and nights. I really do mull stuff over about the order of things and (to borrow from Rush Limbaugh unintentionally) "the way things ought to be". I've arrived at a place in my own thoughts that I didn't know until very, very recently that others had already trodden ground. I have found it quite, ummmm, encouraging.

And, Kierkegaard has some things to say about where I am in my thought process. So does a guy named Vernard Eller. Before I go jaunting down that little primrose path, though, I'd like to ask YOU to pray for my own mind and heart to be guided by the Lord and His Way alone. Because that's truly what I want to do is live in His way. I trust you folks. So, I have no issue with making a goofy request like this.

Thanks.

I can appreciate everything that you are going thru. Ironically.. I'm on my iPhone and have to be limited.

My Father has been dealing with me but changing my focus to His image and showing me who I am.

By knowing who you are... you are not easily manipulated. This is the revelation I pray for you.

I've read and then immersed into Kierkegaard's works The Sickness Unto Death and Fear and Trembling. I would highly recommend Fear and Trembling. He wrote a lot more than that though. He's good; not a lightweight. You'll understand God better if you stick with it to the finish.
