This blog is a barely thematic journey though my tangentizing mental life, captured in 25 word splats, ad hoc posts on whatever captures my mind for the day, and periodic essay-style posts, delving more deeply into issues.
Since the blog focuses on my own mental wanderings, feel free to use the tags, search box, and other tools to poke around. Enjoy, engage, question.
Who's Laura?
I am at least a third generation free-church Protestant of the Baptist variety. I cut my theological teeth under the preaching and teaching of ultra-dispensational (a la C. I. Scofield), verse-by-verse exegete, William D. Lawrence (not the one at DTS). Interest in ecclesiology was cultivated by a church split during my early adult years, nurtured by my subsequent participation in a church plant, and realized in ministry creation at an established church. I am a Southern California American with very little international experience, so if it seems like I'm writing from a bit of a bubble, it's because I probably am (though I do try not to). I'm an official theo-geek, having a Master of Divinity in Christian Education (Talbot, '05) and a Master of Theology in Systematic Theology (Talbot, '08), for whom reading is like a part-time job (20+ hours, though without the helpful income). I am currently a student in the Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Studies program at Talbot School of Theology, (so far) focusing on the intersection of ecclesiology, spiritual formation, and human cognition.
I buy too many books, spend too much time doting over my coffee (note: MY home-roasted and brewed coffee, not *$), and am probably over-committed. Two favorite meals (currently) are handcrafted no-recipe stews and nearly anything from Il Fornaio. I suffer from bouts of picture taking, have tried my hand at drawing, play a few instruments (see the sidebar), love taking personality tests, and often brew my own wort.

You're far too clever for me ;-)

thanks for dropping by my blog. I really enjoy your writings. My brother is trying to move out your way to attend Fuller late this summer. He, his wife, and I are all coffee people. We were involved in a church that roasts coffee to fund an ministry internship program (awcoffess.com).
cwillz, thanks for popping in.
First, funding a ministry through coffee roasting is just plain cool (I am part of a ministry that funds itself--and donates to a local rescue mission--by collecting cans and bottles). It's amazing what you can accomplish without a budget.
Second, not only if Fuller a great school (many of the profs here received their PhDs at Fuller), but their coffee house/bookstore is (or was last time I was there) excellent.
Saw on en to Fitness blog that you mentioned making kefir with coconut milk? Could you tell me how? Would love to try that and have the kefir granules but am not a fan of other milks
