I'm trying to work from home today but this little girl is pretty distracting...
Motivation is hard to come by.
One heartening piece of news tjough is that I've rediscovered my interest in theology that vaporized when I got pregnant. I am enjoying (in an angsty way) the blog wars on rob bell's new book Love Wins. I bought it but have not read it yet. Like standing on a leg long asleep, I am stretching my thoughts out, easing my weight onto them. Painful but good.
The debates going on are good ones:

etc.
- is there a cohesive message in Scripture about who is saved and how?
- is God's goodness at odds with his justice (he wishes all could be saved but because he wants us to "be free" it is not possible)
- where are the borders of orthodoxy and what separates broad Protestant liberalism (recovering the kernel of truth from the husk of its Jewish, historical context) from those who dare to ask new (old) questions like the reformers did? What sounds heretical may just be...insightful. or could just be what i wish were true vs what is true.
Ill read the book and let you know what i think. :)
