The biggest issue that I have had to deal with this semester is my stability in dealing with the world. That does not make very much sense so I’ll explain. I have mentioned several times how I attended a Christian school. Well, this has formed my way of approaching a situation, every time I get a new piece of information it should fit neatly into my worldview. Maybe I am not using the word worldview properly, I see a worldview as a big circular puzzle, if all the pieces are present then the puzzle can not break it can only be added to, I feel that my puzzle is missing pieces and when ever I get a new piece the rest of them fall to the ground and I must scramble to put them together.
I have not known too many strong intellectual Christians and having a class with Dr. Strehle last semester and a class with Dr. Redick this semester has been a very valuable experience. I have always felt as though Christians do a bit of a sham job when trying to explain the world through the scriptures. The thing I have taken away from this class most has been that it is possible to be a Christian and to have your puzzle all put together. I love to see how when Dr. Redick speaks it is as if to point us to something whole, a worldview into which everything fits and it is so refreshing and beautiful.
