ah, it's been a good day, good enough that i must post before i sleep.
work was nice and slow.
doctrines was full of thought as the current topic is "election" aka, free will & predestination and fun stuff. Dr. Woodring is an awesome teacher. I hope I can be that good of a teacher one day. He doesn't force us to side with him but to think, to study, to search, to build one's own understandings and beliefs. Everyone was sort of quiet as they were tired...I was quite full of questions and kept Dr. Woodring answering for awhile. Than other popped up after awhile :-) It was a good class and now I have a handout to read supporting Arminianism--since the author of the textbook is a Calvinist.
After that I finished cleaning my room before heading out for the evening for a concert in Shreveport. We grabbed Chick-Fil-A on the way (hey that rhymes!) and followed my roommate's boyfriend's sister's family. It was much easier to get to than I anticipated and easy getting to our main floor, front rows seats too. Bebo Norman opened. which was sad in that he only got to play five songs. Than Amy Grant played, and it was good although not near as nice compared to the other two. It was more than I expected and I enjoyed that part. After intermission came the best part of the concert--MercyMe. they did an excellent job--and I think the worship was more than crafted by the lights and music; it was genuine. They also sang a new song which is destined to be great for many reasons--one because it is great, two because it's a very moving song--tearjerker, and three, because people will see it as a "sequel" to "imagine" although it isn't as much. It was a song writted in sorrow because as the lead singer put it "that's what songwriters do." I was very happy to note that mercyMe and Bebo sound as good live as they do on c.d.--their voices are made to sound good by recording equipment. It was just fabulous. *odd thought* let's see 2004-1998 is 6 years ago on friday the 13th of february i attended a michael w. smith concert. and this year on thursday the 12th i attend another good Christian concert. oddness. that valentine's weekend of 1998 was a memorable one for lots of reasons...
and than we had a nice drive back to longview to pick up parts in the reading of "Romeo and Juliet". I am the Nurse and it is a fun part to have. And reading it with this crew is SOOOOOOOOOOO much better than it was when we read it in high school. and i think there is a scene or two that we didn't read in HS...
and now it is time for me to sleep. i had another though to expand my ideas on the tower of babel later--a connection between languages and communication, and possibly the added difficulties of different forms of communication post babel.
