Unloved.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 2 comments link this post"I suppose it's arrogance or selfishness or something to care so much about being loved that I could feel that no one loved me. ...So I believed that he loved me. And so I was--I was freed. With everybody else in the world I haven't believed it, and so I haven't been free...And if anybody is for a moment gentle with me, then I am--I can't explain, I dissolve, I'm completely undone"
-- Madeleine L'Engle, The Love Letters

Who wants to admit the need?
There's the wanting of the undeserved.
Or maybe undeserving the want.
Strange, how she's right. About being free. Being free only when you're captive.
In love, at least.
Undone.
I imagine.

Harry Potter, art, Halloween and Christians.
written by Julie R. Neidlinger 0 comments link this postThere's an interesting discussion going on over at CRN.info regarding Halloween and Harry Potter, and the place they do or do not have in the life of a Christian.
Read the post and the comments.
The questions I raised regarding the intent of the artist/author, the possible interpretations of meaning, and whether or not it mattered if there was meaning at all are legitimate. This could apply to many spheres of discussion, though the current link is to a specific application.
What do you think? On the questions in general? On the specific topic?
UPDATE: Here are some related posts.
