Blog Name

I think I’ll name my blog after my favorite movie “Lost in Translation”.  Have you seen the flick? I highly suggest you do.  I have friends who think it’s a dud, but I love it.  How does the movie title relate to my spiritual journey though? In several ways, I guess.

For starters, I wonder how much of God’s love and the communication of said love has been lost in translation, of the Bible, of the people who call themselves Christians, of the pain and suffering we experience on earth.

Secondly, (spoiler alert) if you’ve seen the movie you know that the film ends with love not fully realized.  And in so many ways our love relationship with God is like this, and will not be fully realized until we transition from this world to the next. In the meantime, we spend our days distant from one another, lovers that cannot be together.

Lastly, I just think it’s a cool title.  I’d love to be like Sophia Coppola and one day write an original screenplay like LIT, and if I did I could only hope it’d be as cool as this flick.  Until then, my dreams, and my journey.  All Lost in Translation.
