As I have now begun my own blog in earnest, I want to take the chance to reference Rod Dreher's blog. I've met Rod once, and seen him on a few occasions when I've visited St. Seraphim Orthodox Cathedral. He writes more in a day, than I might write in several months, so there's no way I can or will read all his posts, but they are worthy of reading.

He recently published a (Insert Twilght Zone music here) post about his son Lucas, which provides the base for some interesting discussion. Weather one believes in God, gods, a higher Power(s), Aliens(the outer space kind, not the illegal kind), or whatever, supernatural things do happen--although it might be better to just call them "things we can't explain".

In my days as a zealous evangelistic Christian, I might have argued that things like this were either of God or the devil, but today I could care less. If a Satin worshiper gives me some advice (not suggesting that the woman to whom Rod refers to is a Satin worshiper) that contributes to my health, I don't care where it comes from, God knows I've gotten enough advice from Christians that has been harmful! Of course I would still be curious of from whence cameth the help.
