Day 24: How Not to Speak


Today, the readings were of Freud, and I felt no inspiration.  I didn't read the first one, because it was so long.  I went into the additional readings and read the shorter essay on religious experience. 

I can't speak very well today, my throat hurts, I am tired, I can't eat.  It hurts to swallow, I haven't slept well because of my pain and discomfort.   I am silent again.  Laryngitis is what it seems, so I have shut down my voice and am doing what I can to soothe the soreness.  

I got "How (Not) To Speak of God" today.  I started reading it.  It might be a lot of stuff I have already read in the other books, but it is Pete's first. 

I actually got the book based on Brian McLaren's raving Forward.  With him speaking so highly of it, it was a no brainer for me.  I didn't have it accessible on my Ibooks, so Manfred ordered from Amazon for me.  It's my birthday present.  

I found an interesting quote:  

"Just because you're offended, doesn't make you right."
