Was looking at fellow seminarian blogs and stumbled upon this from David...

"It evokes in us painful memories of historical instances in which the belonging of one to another was abusive, not comforting. The nineteenth and twentieth centuries were times when consciousness rose regarding the ownership of slaves by masters, the absorption of wives' identities into those of their husbands, and the economic possession of some countries by others. In reaction to these oppressive power relationships, it isno wonder that we tend to value autonomy over interdependence."

This is from the Book Conversations with the Confessions, and the essay is titled "What Does God Have to Do with Us?"
This book is a series of essays from different leaders within the the church, but guess who this one happens to be authored by? This is one of the books that I have set out to read as I study for ordination exams in August.

DONE!!

Yippee! I am officially done. The last paper has been emailed and now I am off to see the Da Vinci Code.
Peace out!

Thursday.....

It's Thursday, 5 projects in 1 to go. It's theology, I am a theology nerd, but yes even I get sick of it.
At 7:05 this evening I have been quoted as saying, "I don't want to do theology anymore."

But oh well, back at it.

Going into the home stretch

One week left, 3 classes done, 3 to go. Spent the better part of the day in San Antonion for commissioner training for GA. Didn't learn a whole lot and spent about as much time on the road as in the meeting. Oh well. GA will be fun this summer.

Hope to get Ellen's paper done by Tuesday (take it to Light German) as well as most of my project for Lewie. Then it will be 3 days of nothing but atonement. Almost there, the end is in site, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but it may still be a train......

My Word Cloud

Thanks to David and the Pink Princess for the link to the word cloud!

Your Deadly Sins

Sloth: 60%

Gluttony: 20%

Pride: 20%

Envy: 0%

Greed: 0%

Lust: 0%

Wrath: 0%

Chance You'll Go to Hell: 14%

You will die watching Star Trek.

How Sinful Are You?

Classes are OVER!

Well, classes are wrapped up for the semester, now it is reading and finals weeks. 2 weeks to get everything else done which for me includes:
Theology of Mission and Evangelism
Spiritual Journaling reflection paper
Greek Exegesis project
Paper on Bernard of Clairvaux and John Calvin
Paper on Atonement theories and what it means to be "Easter People"

Lots of reading and writing to do in the upcoming 14 days. It is the last sprint to the end.
