the intersection of the temporal and divine.

the title of this post is a quote from a woman in one of my classes.  she was commenting on her dualistic interpretation of the old testament.  i thought it was well said and i wrote it down.

of course it has taken me three weeks to update my blog.  i always forget how busy school makes me and how quickly the non-necessities get shunted to the side.  but i'm going to try to make this a quasi-necessity, so i can keep it relatively up to date.

i'm sitting in the stacks at colgate in the pleasant coldness of book preservation temperature control.  it is glorious.  i don't even know where to begin with all the stuff i have been reading and writing and learning over the past three weeks.  seminary really smacks you in the face.  there's nothing like it.

i actually can't update very much because i still have reading to do and i've been sick this past week, so i'm a bit behind.  but i wanted to get something up here, so that i don't forget to update.  and the next time i do, i'm going to write about religion as a social structure and how it relates to rites and rituals in the church.  should be interesting.  it won't be three weeks from now... i promise.
