The things that get you

You know those times where you aren't in the mood. When you don't want to think or feel. When you feel overwhelmed, broken, but yet you feel that something is going to happen. My mind has been on a whirl wind this past week.

One of the things that I have been thinking about is religion. I'm in COR 102 and the class is about Christian thought and life. I had to write a paper last week about pluralism vs. exclusivism and it was very hard, I still don't know what I think about how I should think about salvation.

I had to lead a discussion for a class on ecofeminism. How often do we think about women and nature being connected? It's alot of bologna but yet we can learn from it. If you would like to talk about ecofeminism I would love to tell you about it sometime. : )

Also, I went to a bioethics conference this weekend. I wasn't planning on going, but I found myself at a majority of the talks. What scares me is that something can sound first sound good but then when you let it soak in it's awful. Learning about eugenics, technology and hearing cases about different ethic situations just made my mind spin. As a Christian I need to be informed about what's out there so I know where I stand. I need to make sure I know both sides before coming to a conclusion. This world is a scary place....

I was studying for my cor test and I was listening to Rich Mullins. One of his songs is called creed and it is based on the Apostles creed so as I was listening to it I googled it to see if there was a music video and I found the following instead.
