Update: Grace Continues To Happen
Everything is now moved in to the new apartment, which is full of boxes and disarray. The Comcast technician came this morning and connected my cable and internet, so I’m back online now. My email address, gratefulbear, was associated with our old account in Michael’s name, but I was able to get it transferred to my new internet account – so I’m still gratefulbear @ comcast.net.
I want to thank everyone who has sent me supportive emails, as well as left comments here on the blog, as I’ve gone through the separation from Michael and the move to the new apartment. Thanks also to the wonderful friends who came out on Saturday to help Michael and me move: Celeste & Mitch, Adam, Carl, my brother Danny and his wife Beverly, and my brother Jason.
Kato has not yet figured out his new window cat door. I think it reminds him too much of the carrier we put him in for the move over here. Don’t tell him, but he’ll also be getting into the dreaded carrier next month for his annual visit to the vet! He is frustrated by the lack of free access to the outdoors, although he could have his freedom to come and go if he only knew how to use his cat door. (There's a parable there...) Overall, though, Kato is adjusting well to our new home, and there are plenty of patches of sunlight for him to lie in and plenty of birds in the surrounding woods to keep him entertained.
This morning I sat out on my new porch and read some of The Creed: What Christians Believe and Why It Matters, by Luke Timothy Johnson, while drinking my morning coffee. The trees in the parking lot and surrounding the apartment complex are starting to lose their leaves, but there are still quite a few bright red and orange leaves in display. The sun is shining brightly, and it’s a beautiful Autumn day. Grace continues to happen.

Enjoy, and let me know what you think of Luke's book (he's one of the good guys of academe).
I've read one of Luke's other books ("The Real Jesus") and I've also listened to an audio course by him on the Apostle Paul. Both were great! He's more conservative than I am, and he's more critical of the Jesus Seminar folks than I would be (especially Marcus Borg, who is one of my favorite theologians).
Did you ever take any of his classes at Emory?
