Good Stuff

Whoa.
Just watched the clip of the newest Nooma Video, SHE and if you've never heard the "theory" before, it's eye-opening, interesting, and to some (like, oh, say...I dunno....Southern Baptists) mildly scandalous.

But I liked it.

Here's the summary:

We didn’t have anything to do with our birth. We are all here because some woman somewhere gave us life. Her pain, her effort, for our life. And when a mother gives like that to a child, she is showing us what God is like. But sometimes this part of God’s nature is overlooked. A lot of us are comfortable with male imagery for God. But what about female imagery for God? Is God limited to a gender? Or does God transcend and yet include what we know as male and female? Maybe if we were more aware of the feminine imagery for God we would have a better understanding of who God is and what God is like.

Boy, do I have a comment or two on this post. Wow. Okay, a blog about this has been rolling around in my brain for some time and I'm actually in the groove lately for posting more controversial/think about it blogs. So...look for more to come.

OMGosh, I just remembered I was supposed to wash G some jeans for a bowling social tonight. Hmm, maybe I can fluff them w/a fabric softener sheet and nobody'll notice the smell, you think? :0)
I think I'd better go.
