What if K was one of us? Just a stranger among us?

There are some lies my friends have to tell...

Some months ago, my long term spiritual director suggested I look into the phenomenon that sometimes God can 'speak very loudly through our circumstances' and I've been giving this concept some thought and prayer considering that I usually am not unemployed for this long and I have recently been inspired and been praying about applying for work much outside of 'Gotham City', I changed the name of my city to protect the reputation of those who know that Christians sometimes have to live 'in the world' while they are also chosen to be out of it, in essence, it is like we are all sheep in wolves' clothing (I intentionally reversed the order from scripture).  We earn a worldly paycheck that goes to a worldly bank account and we often get around the same way the people around us do, but in reality our bodies are kind of like our 'Avatars' for doing the work of our heavenly Kingdom. 

My decision to one day leave 'Gotham' does not necessary come from what a 'so called-schizophrenic' decision of taking the latest Batman movie too literally, but I realize that some steps, as a close friend of mine put it, at times can be necessary to 'protect the innocent' and at times that includes me as well so a fresh start is something that does seem to be a long time in coming and I wonder sometimes if perhaps the director himself was also a Christian and the one who left the 'COMMENTary' on my own commentary of the second film.....
