bits and pieces

I will be honest, I am tired as I write this, I have been up since 6 am with no nap (it is currently 9 pm), and I've spent the day thinking from the get go. Nonetheless, I am drawn to write a bit. Lately I've been struggling with some ideas, like inerrancy and authority of Scripture, and how we use (or abuse) Scripture, and its role in the Christian life and the Church. It seems to be a lense I'm seeing life through right now (thank you Lynn), be it my work in class (Reading Practices and New Testament), community group or early morning scripture reading (that is why I was up early) or in my conversations with friends. Anyways, I don't have the mental capacity to engage that right now...I will, hopefully, soon.

I also had a moment of perspective tonight, concerning my education. I am currently in New Testament class, for which I m paying $100 for just tonight's session (it is roughly $33 per credit, per session). I honestly have never thought about my education that way. Lately, I've been rethinking many aspects of my life, honestly, and again, more on that later.

I better pay attention, I think I just missed out on at least $1 worth of education in writing this.

::utter randomness::

Hello all, it has been a while since I have written. Ias been a rather random week or weeks. I went to Vancouver a few times, the first time with my cousin and Kali and her brother Steve, happened across some spectacular fireworks, ate sushi and generally enjoyed that beautiful city. The second time was Monday (I was supposed to work, but HR doesn't have its act together), I went with Marina and the Random Brit (Lord Christopher - see the side link under reading). We were scouting out Smallville filming sites. In that time I've also remembered how much I miss working in student ministry, and I am wrestling with that. Anyways, I've been entertaining a random British youth pastor at my home, Lord Christopher (he owns noble land in Britain), which has been absolutely delightful, both the accent and the fact he is a youth pastor. I also started work yesterday, not much to do, but hey I'm actually getting paid! I know this is all very unorganized, but whatever, that is my life at the moment, that and I start school in a few weeks. Ok, I should probably read, look into student ministry opportunities, etc.
