My Life in a Bubble

Lately, I’ve felt frustrated because I live in a bubble here on seminary campus.  All of us are pretty much on the same page, and I guess that gets old for me after a while.  I like to live among a variety of people with varying belief systems, and that just hasn’t been the case for me these past couple of years.

Don’t get me wrong, I cherish fellowship with close friends who hold to the same beliefs and are living crazy lives right along with us.  But, I also find a depth and a richness to life when I am surrounded by a variety of people.

Back in ‘99, after being at YWAM for 6 months, I began itching to get back into the real world.  I suppose after 2 years of living on a seminary campus, it would be normal for me to start feeling the itch again.

Sometimes I feel like I live in a bubble when it comes to the blogosphere, too.  Most of my readers are fellow seminary friends, and most of the blogs I read belong to people in the same phase of life as myself.

This past week, I was really encouraged by discovering someone I have never met, who is in a totally different phase of life than my own, came across my blog post entitled “August 27th” and found a little slice of hope.  I was so excited to see that my blog could be relevant to someone outside of this little bubble I live in. Go check out Liz’s blog.  I’ll be following her little piece of the blogosphere, and you should, too!
