In the early 1990's I wrote an essay that critiqued some of the ills of our culture.  I called it Return to Wonderland  - referencing, of course, Alice's strange and nonsensical adventures. 

All these years later the image of "falling down the rabbit hole" often comes to mind.  If anything, the world we inhabit today is much stranger and more nonsensical than it was in the early 1990's.

Things that almost everyone once took for granted have been overturned in favour of strange new concepts. I wonder if I, like Alice, have tumbled "through the looking glass."

As a Christian living in this strange new world, I struggle to maintain my mental and cultural "balance."  This has given me a growing appreciation for the apostle Peter's words about living as "aliens and strangers in this world"  (1 Peter 2:11). 

Perhaps this is your experience, or perhaps this is an observation you find intriguing; if so, please come along in following this blog.  As a late middle-aged Christian, I want to "see" these times through the lens of the Bible; this blog, then, is to be a platform from which to share thoughts about living Biblically in this increasingly strange world...
