should be working...

So, I'm pretty sure these next few weeks will be the death of me. I have so much work to do. I guess its really no more work than I had in college, I think I just care a little more now. And I feel like there is a little more pressure for it to actually be good. I'm currently writing a paper for my systematic theology class with James Cone. I feel like this has to be really good...because, well, its freakin' James Cone. I will have a notable theologian reading my paper. I feel like he'll read it and be like "aww, thats sweet." My serious attempts at theology are like children's sermons to him. Nevertheless, I'm pretty excited about the paper.

I'm researching identity politics and Christian identity. In light of so many theologies, specifically liberation theologies, where our racial or ethnic identity precede our Christian identity, I am looking at the question "Can we be Christian first, and bring the rest of our identity to the table following our Christian identity. I feel like if this can happen, it would lead to a more unified and maybe universal theology of human existence. I fear that many liberation theologies perpetuate division in the church. We shall see....

For now, back to the paper. I've go to finish it so I can go home for Thanksgiving on Thursday
