Well, It has been a while:. . .

Here is the plan:
I will post over a long period of time many of the ideas that I have been having about Salvation used within the Christian context and how that relates to life now and into the future. Since this is a long term goal, do not expect that it will be finished within a few posts. Don't necessarily expect each following post to deal directly with the issue of salvation but rather each post will in theory attempt to deal with some facet of the Christian view of Salvation.
Before beginning, I need to first attempt to explain what I expect to find through my searching. With my good friend Tim I want to first affirm that salvation is "always more and never less." Salvation thus is not solely about a renewed life after death, but Salvation also speaks to the physical, spiritual and social salvation that Christ works out through his Church. Further, if the research warrants, I submit that the salvation after death was, for Jesus, a mere bump on the full salvic landscape, at least by the amount of time that he spent on that facet of salvation.
I would rather you know my preconceived notions than make you try to guess them through future posts. Feel free to comment at any time throughout, since I would rather that this were a dialog than a monologue.

Though we are ever striving we are never acheiving. True as this statement may be, do we of necessity see that striving in the same light and plight as we would the small rodent on his spinner wheel? There are some days when I see life as only a rat race, but when I do, it is because I was neglecting the beauty, the joy and love of relationships. The beauty that is inherent in this life is not limited to human interactions, but rather is evident in all aspects of this earth from the rocks as old as the universe to the flower that came up this morning. Further, this beauty does not just reside in the pristine but also in the common, the every day, and even the heartbreaking.
Should we say that though there is a profound enigma in this dichotomous life, this existence, it is essentially unvaluable? I see no further difficulties with a further life if it would also exist.
