The Argument paper

A creation of a into level seminary class within one context of the theological study. That I am not a fan of. No trust me I love a good argument when I care and really truly care about the argument but I’m sorry you are in the words of our fearless leader in this pursuit “Soo dead”. The text in question here is “On The Apparel of Women”( http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0402.htm)

I reject your views of women and what they should wear heck I’m going to go to class in my slippers. Oh wait I have already done that, but I do take your advice about not worrying to much about my appearance. I take that time now to sleep. So is that a better use of my needing salvation as being a daughter of Eve that I need to work harder to get.

Oh Tertullian you are sooo dead and what you say is soo very wrong to me, and I reject your reality and substitute my own(Thanks Mythbusters!) So alas the argument paper, I fear I do not make a good argument about the argument paper.

The amazement of breath and other thoughts from the week

“The very first word you say is God, and the very last you will say is God. And you keep saying God all the time, you are doing it right now”

This week at school as been a series of lectures with the ‘headliner’ being Richard Rohr . Wow is what he has to say amazing. I attended his Tuesday night lecture and his sermon/message today in chapel.

Tidbits from Tuesday night (and yes I was a dork and took notes)
-Those who can not understand the first bible (creation) will never understand the second bible
-Ego hates change
-Dualistic thinking is good except for the ‘big things’ love, death, suffering, God and Eternity
-When a tragedy strikes people who think dualistically are not equipped to understand it.
-There are so many access points to the divine
-Jesus came before conscious was ready for him
-DNA is divine
-We are programmed in such a way that nothing else gets in unless it fits with our programmed views
-Loving is giving up control
-If the Ego says “no” the should says “yes”
-

Then he gave an amazing message today about the entomology of the Hebrew word for God. And how when it is pronounced correctly (and its not often pronounced in Hebrew) its like a breath. I can not wait until it is posted on facebook for me to watch again, and share with you.

In search of Internet

So I’ll admit it I’m adicted to my computer and the Internet. Being part of the last generation to remember life before it I know that it is a marvelous invention and just plain amazing. So to my chigin today when I arrived home from the flea market the power was out, and my computer was on 35% battery. Ok not usually a huge deal but I’m preaching tomorrow morning at 10am. My homily is where you ask, yep that’s right my computer about 85% done. Insert panic here.
So I determine that it is worth the effort to go Barns and Noble and hop on there Wi-fi and steal their power. I arrive there and the one plug in the entire store is already occupied. NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! So I pray that I can finish my sermon with the 58 minuets I have left on my battery without Wi-fi turned on. I bang out the rest of it and am satisfied at the time of this writing. But I felt a lot like the episode of South Park from last season where the Internet ran out. Also figures that all of my work that I pretend to do on the weekends is on my computer so no homework for me today! Oh well Sundays another day…
