I just finished reading this book called Resident Aliens by Stanley Hauerwas and it really challenged some of my and our thinking as the Christian church in a culture such as America, where we have cultural Christianity.  One of his views is that of a pacifist, with the point being, our allegiance to God should come first before our allegiance to a Nation.  This seems like a generally agreeable point, but he gives the example of WWII and fighting against the Nazi's.  As much as the Nazi's were misguided in their cause Hauerwas makes the point that we had American Christians fighting and killing German Christians and vice versa, making the point that the earthly nation had super-ceded the Kingdom of God.  Hauerwas makes the analogy of a Christian fighting for a Nation is like a person fighting for the telephone company.  Your thoughts?

School has started again and all my extracurricular research activities are moving forward.  God is doing a good work in me and I'm going to hang out with the girl from the grocery store today.  Pray for Non-awkwardness.  Haha.  Crazy Love.

Hey guys, I just invited Dad.  Look for him soon on here!
