15th year convention of Xena, Warrior Princess!

No, I’m not into this. Never watched the show once. But as I was writing about the concept of “relatedness, associations, and identification” for the coming essay, I was reminded that humans really like to affliate on the basis of things that are trivial. We need to remember that we are a part of a fallen sinful race, but you don’t see people flocking to “Confessing our Utter Depravity 2010″ conventions. We need to celebrate our strong affiliation with all Christian believers, but we (and I mean myself here) get really bummed out when the Eagles fall apart in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. What really defines us? What is our true affiliation and identification from day to day?

Believe it or not, those thoughts are addressed in a coming essay that starts out as a primer on biological taxonomy. Understandably, you may not see the connection just yet, but stay tuned, as later in the week I’ll post my January ‘10 essay. It’s a solid primer on the “Biblical Classification of Life” concepts that I developed in a book of the same name ten years ago. You may or may not be fascinated with the biological side of the essay–tweaking how we think about the way creatures are grouped–but if you stick with it you’ll not only get the primer, but some strong encouragement about who you are.

And if you are NOT a believer in Christ as your Lord and Savior, then maybe you’ll see the great affiliation that you are yet missing.

God bless. Back later in the week…
