Baby is napping and I am having my favorite kind of Monday morning...the kind where you gently regroup. Where you make lists and reflect on the busy weekend and the coming week and let it all hang suspended in the distance as you sip coffee and eat a bagel. This weekend I attended a symposium on rob bells Love wins. It was the most exercise my mind has had in a while... promised book review still coming
. I felt like I was attending a gathering of the wizards... A la order of the Phoenix...
My imagination is a very consequential part of my theology.
One of my favorite (mis)quotes was,
"hell is paved with people with good intentions."
Ha ha. Wonderful mental image...
No, I suppose it is not a funny subject really.
I enjoyed the range of conversation, the openness but seriousness with which the book and its questions were treated, and the time being with my dad and people from Trinity. Got me thinking about bringing heaven to earth - doing my part - having dreams...
I've started dreaming about opening ...for lack of a better title... A Sex Center. Ok, it really does need a better title. Something between a school for sex ed, a church/counseling refuge for people wrestling with some aspect of their sexuality,and a clinic for women in need of obgyn and contraceptive and prenatal and postpartum care. Basically a place to talk and to be heard, to learn and be cared for at the intersection of faith and gender. Something holistic and welcoming. Doesn't it sound awesome? Needs some "tweaking." T-w-e-a-k-i-n-g."

Sounds like my ideal Monday morning, too! lovely...
I would totally be a part of your "sex center".. Could you employ a newly married, christian, MSW who believes even newly married Christians are entitled to great sex (and that our culture has been neglecting this topic far too long?)? I could tackle the therapy aspect :) Great idea...I love all the things you already hit on.
I'm enjoying your "mom who has a great blog" aspect. =) & I'll help with your sex center. First mission, new name... Um... Alright, give me awhile.
Next up: supporting each other in being "mom's who routinely meet for lunch." (& who send each other reminders that we're meeting for lunch, lest we forget.)
Mrs. K :) yes I will employ you. The starting salary isn't much since it dones't exist yet, but... oh well.
linds...yay! so excited to have future lunches! and reminders...
