In Response to Blog Assignment of "This Blessed House"

After reading "This Blessed House" I recalled the last few pages where the religious artifacts were driving a wedge between Twinkle and Sanjeev. I couldn't help but think about the divisive aspects of organized religion. I personally find that organized religion can be very harsh on the spiritual life of a person. I do not agree with many of the things that the main stream Protestant church says is right or wrong (homosexuality, abortion, stem cell research, etc.), but I still believe in spiritual aspect of the church. I believe that Sanjeev represents the non-religious spiritualist (even though he never expresses spirituality) and Twinkle represents the Church because she keeps finding and keeping the religious artifacts.

Wow, this class is quite interesting. I loved Michael and my project on sea levels, the graphic was super cool. I believe that my "open essay" assignment will be letter to President Barack Obama as a supporter of the T.Boone Pickens Plan. This plan seems most plausible and easy to do (relatively), even if Boone Pickens will make a handsome profit of such a plan.
