someone said to me today

....have you ever thought about going into the ministry? I said. I was raised (half)Church of Christ. For me that meant planning a VBS for 5 year olds. Making a paper mache whale in the summer.

She said, "Oh. Yeah. I guess that would be hard."

Maybe I'll go into the ministry. Whatever that means. Maybe I already have.

it's a shame. . . that you didn't grow up knowing, understanding that you could do ANYTHING for the Gospel, ministry is life. and i only wish more women in CofC got more of a platform, or one at all. i can't believe i lived in that for four years, makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck.
on another note, did you see Paltrow on the cover of Vogue?

I went out to lunch on Sunday with some friends, and we were talking about what they were going to do in the future. I told them I was going into college ministry. Of course, I was going to be a college professor, doing teaching, but that's college ministry.
