"Getting really good at being a Christian means you stop thinking about you all the time."
Today I learned:
1) it is possible to "get really good" at being a Christian.
2) Being a "really good" Christian and finding your life's purpose has nothing to do with Jesus.
Thanks Women's Ministry department of Ask.com! I'm glad you are here to direct my life.

I know this post is flowing with sarcasm, but it does serve some edifying purpose. My life goal is to teach women theology in such a way that it is both full of truth and depth while adequately feminine. Women do not need to lose their ability to think in order to embrace emotion (and neither do men).
Today, I nearly cried in class about the transmission of sin (and actually did go back to my room and cry about it later). There is nothing wrong with doing so. Rather, there is beauty in the affective nature of theology. May I spend many more days crying over our fallen humanity and many more days rejoicing over our redemption. May you do likewise.
