history

I read something in my history book last night about a man who translated the Bible to an Algonquian language. And I thought about it a little bit. A man would have to know the Bible pretty intimately to be able to translate it. He would have to care. And that's the kind of faith I think most people should aim to have.

is this that introspective thing you were telling me about for your creative writing class?

And, yes, that is totally the kind of faith people should have.
not that stupid "great awakening" stuff... you can't SCARE people to love God, it just doesn't work that way.
