I feel as if I exist FOR REAL now.
I went to Google today and typed in my name as a search term. Mostly, I was looking to see if, say, this blog would come up. Of course, it couldn’t, because nowhere on here have I used my name in full. I mean, you could put it together, I suppose, but Google wouldn’t. Anyway, I typed in . . . uh, me, and there was a hit! But what a surprise
hit it was: a book reviewer for the Scottish Journal of Theology quoted me! ME! I wrote a seminar paper for my new favorite professor, Stanley “America’s Leading Theologian” Hauerwas, a paragraph of which he quoted
in a recent book; the book reviewer reviewing the book quoted my paragraph.
Of course, now this means that something I wrote might come back to haunt me.
