So, though I have always said "no" to writing blogs, here I am - a grad student with lots on her plate starting a new activity. Why, you ask? Because graduate school in pastoral ministry is confusing! Everything you had thought made sense no longer does - once you start to know the history of how the Church decided on different things, it takes a lot of thought to wrap your head around it, and you still won't be able to completely understand. Every day, I realize more and more how much of a mystery God is, something I used to not truly realize or appreciate. Instead of scribbling down notes in random places about the concepts that boggle my brain, I've decided (with the encouragement of a dear friend of mine) to organize them, and all in a public place where I can confuse others! hehehe. I hope you enjoy my reflections, and feel free to give me your opinions on whatever I bring to the table...
...Also, I decided on the books background, at least for the time being, because they (well, the ones on theology, liturgy, and history of Christianity) are the source of my confusion! But with enough reflection, that confusion always leads to complete and utter awe at our Creator - it takes a pure genius to come up with creatures crazy like us!
I am so excited for this! :)
