"Lego moi ego." I now know enough Greek to construct this questionable sentence. It says, roughly, "I am talking to myself."
It is aptly apropos of my mental condition by now. Way too many papers and assignments and required seminary events and family needs....
Hence, hardly any blog entries.
Still, I'm having a lot of fun.
So much to describe. So little time.
It turns out that one of the second years girls just found out she has a Swedenborgian ancestor from the states, last name Doering....
Her mom is going to see if she can dig up more details for me.
Yesterday, in NT, the Lutherans were talking about faith alone or "grace alone" and how, really, there's no such thing, because one has to live what the faith teaches . . . .
I like having my stereotypes blown out of the water.
Again and again I find that it isn't about a church's official dogma, it isn't even about what words any given person expresses (often like a tape recorder from a Sunday school lesson) if they are asked about who God is and what is the path to salvation, it is in how a person lives, day by day, that shows their faith.
Anyway....
back to the books, and parenting, and books, and .....
Thoughts and reflections on life, the universe, and everything, from a fifty-something Canadian goddess....
