thank you, nyquil.
I didn't remember about blogging yesterday until I was safely tucked into bed at 11pm, and I decided to stay there, rather than get up & turn the computer back on to blog. Sorry, blogging goal.
I had a good day yesterday, and I mostly read for school. I continued to work on Authentic Human Sexuality, which continued to be really interesting and good. It is really one of the best, most realistic Christian books on sex I've read. Of course, it's written by a family therapist and a sociologist (my professors for this class), so you would hope it would be honest and realistic. The section I read was still a basic introduction/overview, so I'll be interested to see how specific issues are dealt with moving forward.
I also started on Beyond Sex Roles, which is a nice complement to the class on women in ministry that I took. At first, I didn't think it would have anything really new to add to what I learned there, but it's nice because it appears that he's starting from the creation accounts and may analyze every relevant passage in the Bible about men & women. So far, I just read about Genesis, and I was both reminded of things I learned in my class and shown a new way of seeing some things. It's pretty exciting.
I wasn't sure that this class was going to be what I wanted it to be, but it's going to great. I think it's going to be very good for real-life issues in ministry, and just in life. As I've gotten to know a little about some of my classmates (through our message board), I see that we all have vastly different ministry experience, but we all have similar questions on issues in sexuality that we're bringing to the discussion and we know that the church needs to address these issues more clearly and, well, at all.
