So you've stumbled across yet another blog out of millions on the net, and you're no doubt wondering why you should care. What makes this blog, out of all the millions out there, worth your time and attention? While you're at it why is this blog called Convergences?
Well, the answers to those questions are tied together. What this blog perhaps offers that others may not is a way of thinking - the way I tend to think, in converging strands of thought. I will often have an experience or an idea, then days, weeks, or even months later, I will have another that reminds me of the first. The two concepts or ideas will come together, and a new insight will emerge that I did not have before. I'm not saying that these insights are original or more profound than anyone else's insights, but I tend to reach them by interesting paths.
The title Convergences also refers to the way that God works. He also deals with converging strands to work his will in the world. He takes different people, from different places and backgrounds, and brings them together unexpectedly. He manipulates diverse trends and uses them to produce results that surprise us. He catches us from different directions, puzzling us, bemusing us, amazing us, and blessing us, all at the same time.
So why should you care about one more blog among the milions? Maybe you shouldn't. If so, move along, with no hard feelings. On the other hand, maybe my wacky, scatterbrained way of understanding things might help you understand things. If you think it might, then welcome aboard. It's sure to be an interesting ride.
