hm.

Today, so far, has been a ridiculously good day. Woke up at noon which is my favorite pass time. Got up checked my email only to find that I got the sound job at school. My prof. cut a class from 17 to 5 and I am one of the 5 so that is cool. My friend Walker also got the job. Its a really great opportunity because it includes a class in which I will get to learn more about sound including pro-tools (all your CD's are edited on this). So after that I went up to Wally World and bought a racquetball racquet which is exciting. Nothing like a sport where one point is to hit a ball as hard as you can against a wall.

I continued reading Donald Millers "Searching for God Knows What" Again today. Chapter 4 is "Naked--Why Nudity is the point"

In this chapter he unpacked the creation/fall story in an interesting way. I'm not sure if I agree with his theology or how he reads into things but none the less it was really interesting and makes sense. He starts off by saying that Adam was really a lonely man because he wanted a partner. This is interesting in an of itself because because the Garden of Eden was perfect and Adam was still lonely. This reminds us that we are not eternally screwed up because we long for relationships. He then went on to say that Adam had to wait on God because he didn't get Eve at first. He was told to name the animals which probably took a very very long time. He goes on to then say that Adam must have been truly grateful and in love with Eve. That part was cool. Beyond that he said this.

"So if people were wired so that something outside himself told him who he was (God before the Fall) and if God presence was giving him the feeling of fulfillment, when that relationship was broken, man would be pining other people to tell him that he was good, right with the world, and eternally secure."

I find that really intriguing. It kinda shows why humans are the way they are. Why we seek approval from people others rather than God etc. It also makes me happy to know I'm not nuts!! (okay maybe I am but not in that way at least).
