It got so difficult looking for a particular quote of mine from 10 years ago that I counted up all the posts that include the word nostalgia. * It's a little more than 1%. I'm a little worried what other subjects show up that often.
I have long said "Eventually, people say who they are whether they mean to or not." I was usually thinking of work, and also of church when I spoke those words so many times. So I am caught in my own net here.
*I found it, and even though it was closely related to it, the word nostalgia was not in the post.

There is certainly a sickly, perverted nostalgia; but healthy, unperverted nostalgia is nothing to be ashamed of. As you know, the word nostalgia was coined as a name for homesickness. We've changed geographical exile to chronological exile, but beneath all this is the spiritual exile we might call Godsickness. To my mind, Christianity is an answer to existential alienation, to the sad sense of being a stranger in a strange land. It tells us that Godsickness is real, we truly are aliens, and that our true home is in another world.
