Extra Credit Though.

Reading up on Augustine for my paper, I kept coming back to the moment when Augustine decides to follow God. I feel as though it's a true sign of surrender, the way he comes to God. Sitting under the tree, thinking of all the paths he took in his life, leading up to felling the Father's loving embrace. Its intriguing to see just how much he revered Plato at first as well. I cannot wait to continue to dive into Augustine's Platonist parallels, and watching how he came to Christ through it all. I love this image, and Augustine's Confessions is easily my favorite reading of the semester.
