dreaming of brilliant fantasty worlds

i was talking with neal yesterday about a group from mhgs called eagle and child. i told him i might be ditching youth group on thursday so i can go.

he found the name first odd, then nerdy. i explained that it is the name of the pub that lewis and tolkien used to hang out at.

he laughed at me then asked, "are you going to dream up brilliant fantasy worlds." then he ventured on some silly tangent in a british accent. but i stayed with his words.

as i have been faced with the modern church and broken by it - made hopeless by it - it almost makes me scared to dream of something different. however, as i begin to ponder tomorrow's church - sinners and saints seattle maybe - i feel myself dreaming again...

so....yes neal, i hope we do dream of brilliant fantasy worlds.

...and that to the fantasy, may we add flesh
