Pilgrim Ramblings

Pilgrim Ramblings is a collaborative effort by friends Rob Davis, Eric Jensen, Daniel Sharples, and Jared Thomasson. We will attempt to articulate a refreshing theology of hope founded on the belief that God, through Christ, has not forsaken us to this fallen world. We also want to emphasize the journey of the Christian life, and remind others of the various ways that God moves in this world.

Webster’s Dictionary defines the word pilgrim as : traveler, especially one who is on a sacred journey. We like the idea that somehow we are all on this same journey, whether we acknowledge it or not. This journal (blog) is part of our hope that ideas and new thoughts can spring up from the well of discussion on God and theological subjects that take place here. Hopefully this can influence and remind us of the “sacred” part of the journey. But also what is bound to follow are our own and others “ramblings”. Webster’s defines ramble as: leisurely stroll – or to wander aimlessly. This is significant to us because we can tend to ramble and thus wander about aimlessly in conversation and in life. This creates in us a tension, as we are often caught in between being lost and found, doubting and believing, complex and simple, paradox and orthodox. We recognize the pilgrimage that we have been called to, but at times we have the tendency to walk about without direction, even when it is thrown directly in our faces. We hope this can be a safe place for our readers to express themselves as well, the misdirection as well as the journey.
