Watching Beneath the Surface

I have been enjoying my second snow day by relaxing, watching movies, drinking tea, etc. During this short, unofficial "break" I have realized something about myself; I have always been a very pensive person, looking around me and analyzing the things I see, however, I think I have become even more so of late. As part of my relaxing, I have been watching Pride and Prejudice and I have found myself forming short essays in my head on various topics that are present under the surface of this story (such as outward politeness, superficiality in worship, etc.) In part, I believe this is due to my Bible class which has me analyzing every idea and headline of the world for its worldview. It's very interesting, however, to be watching the same movie I have watched countless times before and yet seeing it on a much deeper level. I imagine this is a useful skill to have and one that all my teachers have sought to further instill in me through all my classes, yet it is still odd to see it appear. Just some thoughts...
