You were quite proud of the fact that the Christian book you had written had loads and loads of scripture references.
It’s the first time I learnt that this was a thing. Of course it makes sense to me now; the more you quoted the Bible, the more authenticity was added to the book. Authenticity, credibility, both.
I was happy for you. I don’t always understand why scholarship is exalted in England but you were happy, so I was happy.
It’s the thing that I always wondered about. Even when people were out on a casual evening, sipping coffee in that sometimes-biting English cold, they didn’t talk about ‘small’ stuff. No, they asked about the politics of my country, our education system and so on.
I learnt to comfortably talk about ‘big’ things, to regard it as a normal conversation when someone wished to discuss the changing weather patterns of my part of the world and what was causing them.
After all, who wants to talk about weddings and your cousin’s lazy ways when there is economics to discuss?
