The other side of life

I'm glad to see that Doc has been posting. I haven't had much internet access, I don't have it set up at my apartment yet. Yes, Dunmore is home now. It's weird, but nice. Working at the library 8 hours a day is nice too. I'm actually dorm-sitting in Barndollar right now, though, until Sunday.
It's interesting to be at "life after graduation" now. I'm not sure what I think yet. I've felt lonely and helpless at times, but also loved and cared for. God is showing me that He even cares about things like how I get to and from work without a car. He really has provided so much. I have to remember that none of it is coincidence.

I'm still settling in to this other side of life. I haven't really had a moment that felt normal yet. But I'm trying to read when I can. I'm reading the second part of Pilgrim's Progress, hoping to finish Mortification of Sin, and just picked up Lewis' The Abolition of Man. The goal now is to really think about what I read. I'm used to reading a lot for pleasure. I've read many books simply for their entertainment value, even if they were significant on some other level. I've approached movie viewing in the same way for many years. It is only more recently that the new world of digesting and really learning from good books and good movies has been opened up to me. Any advice for beginners?

Well, I hope we can all benefit from the virtual circle this summer.
