Spiritual Warfare Is Similar to Miracles
After reading a recent article at Alternet, I really began wondering whether some people had been deceived into thinking they were practicing spiritual warfare.

I wasn’t sure what to record about today, and had almost resolved to skip this week’s podcast altogether, when it occurred to me that I could talk about something else entirely. To that end, here’s a podcast about psychic vampires.
This week I’m talking about how we figure out what is true. I don’t tie this in really hard with spiritual warfare, but you can probably see its relevance. If you can’t, I guess leave a comment below and I’ll go more in-depth?
Halfway through my vacation, Eric lent me the concluding two novels to the Sword of Truth series. I always enjoy epic fantasy fiction novels because I can escape to a world of adventure where good outwits evil and the shadow falls. I get caught up in these stories and find myself wishing for an epic of my own, to be a hero in a story.
At the same time, I curse my repetitive foolishness. Not many people are left who knew me when I was younger, or are familiar with the details of my youth, but “adventurous” is a good way to describe it. Adventures aren’t generally fun–they’re sleepless nights, constant threats, and always filled with uncertainty. And yet, my peaceful life for the last several years (since I came to college in 2003) leaves me wanting something more. I don’t know why–I know it’s stupid to want those adventures back–but part of me yearns to be part of something bigger than myself despite the consequences.
