K.J.: SO happy for your refreshing 3-week vacation. You have been through so much! I became familiar with you after discovering "The Place We Find Ourselves" podcast. I purchased THE LORD IS OUR COURAGE immediately after you were a guest. Your writing (and your husband's) has stirred up SO MUCH in me. You both express what I need to but can't because I don't have any words to describe it. I keep praying to find a tribe of people here who love God but aren't religious. Thank you for your words; they continue to move me.
Welcome back! You are right about how we love our weird DIA. It is always fun to dig into all the conspiracy theories on that place, or maybe not, but it is a interesting tidbit to discuss with visitors to our airport.
Thank you for sharing Liz’s book, and her essay. I have yet to read it, but I will purchase it soon. Wishing you the very, very best in the days to come. XX
Also sooooo excited about your trip. I love that you were well enough to be restored by it.
I miss you on instagram!
Also DIA is one of my favorite places in the world. I think it’s the introvert time of it when I land and when I’m flying out. I love the first step outside and breathing the fresh Colorado air— and when you walk through during daylight and see the mountains. It always feels like a welcome home.
I didn’t ever have the AIO bible but I was also an odyssey kid!! A few years ago I realized that my belief in Jesus happened for the first time when I listened to the episode, imagination station. Forever thankful for that and for mr Whitaker. He was fictional, but so real to me.
He was a grace of an imaginary adult for me as a child living in a home with so much abuse.
I am pretty sure I owned that Bible. In fact, my daughter mentioned to me the other day that her pop-pop had given her a stack of 20 CDs of the stories she listened to over and over and loved. And I wondered how that made it to her generation and if I would still call them good. :)
There’s still some goodness to them for sure, and like so many things in the history of evangelicalism, there are some things that are cringe now. I still love it so much.
Pre-ordered. This seems like exactly the type of read I need to start the year. Thank you for sharing!
Yayyyy! 👏🏼💃🏻

Into the conspiracy theories hahaha
