...Yes, I did just do that.
But seriously, I first decided to do a blog to be the beginnings of a grand work where all my thoughts on the Biblical view of women (their role, worth, etc.) could be collected. And I dreamed of various complementarians and hierachialists stumbling upon my site, only to be convicted by the Spirit of God, break down in tears, and allow women to use the full range of their gifts.
...Hey, you never know.
But that wasn't the only reason.
I wanted to write because I was angry. As thoughts about previous conversations, stories I heard about certain churches, things I read in certain books, memories of my years at Moody replayed in my head... I realized I was incredibly angry.
Now I realize I'm still incredibly angry. Not only at theological misogyny, but so many things. Like...
Good ol regular misogyny
The way the Church treats the LGBT community
The plight of Black people
Random theological issues I don't understand
Human trafficking
Etc., etc.
Lately, that anger has been ripping me up a bit more than usual.
And so, I need to write about a larger range of topics, if only for my sanity.
And I also need to just write about the random mundane (how's that for an oxymoron?). I learn so many little lessons here and there.
So let's see how this goes...
