My life Currently

I am currently taking a class on the Historical Jesus…it is fascinating to study the Jesus of History, not the Jesus of Faith. We look into what agnostic Historians have discovered to be what they consider historically accurate about the Peasant Revolutionary. Some interesting things… they do not deny that he existed or that he died on a cross…They believe he was non-violent and believed in a radical grace. He was executed because he was considered a “political revolutionary”!!!

Pretty interesting stuff.

I made a friend finally. His name is Mat, he is in my program and has a huge man beard. He is helping start a church. I am going to go to it Sunday after the Brethren Peace Walk with my friend Meredith. I miss Southern Ohio, the simpleness of it. I can not wait at times to get back, but I feel I have so much to learn up here in Cleveland. I hope to make friends with the Catholic Workers tomorrow. They are constantly getting arrested.

Good to see you this past Sunday, John. Keep learning and growing...and please try to get arrested non-violently (LOL).

Hey John, Glad to see you this weekend! We miss you at Marty's Men's group. You always have great perspective and insight into the discussion!

I picture in my mind a day when I'll see John Williams on tv. Being arrested. Most likely holding up a big sign that kelly made.
