My Sacred Journey

I recently wrote about spiritual journeys. In that context, I was interested to see a blog post on “The Quest for a Good Life” in which Andy Tix describes his life as a sacred journey. He tells a little of the story of his life, and describes the themes that he sometimes uses to interpret that story–anxious awareness of death, secular affirmation of human worth, or autonomy/achievement. He then uses Frederick Buechner’s “The Sacred Journey” to describe the theme he prefers to use as an interpretive lens, one of God-soaked grace. It’s a nice reflection on the different ways we can interpret our journeys.
