Dear Diary:
Okay. I was SUPPOSED to start a diary, and be more dedicated to it. So, bad, BAD Eric.
And I don’t have much else to write today, either. Last night went to hear a speaker here in Omaha. We have a couple that underwrite a speaker series, bringing people from around the world to speak about ethics, morality, etc. It’s called the Holland Lecture Series.
Anyhow, last night’s speaker was Rev. Haffner, who spoke on the topic of “sexual morality, justice, and healing”. It was an excellent talk, and was amazingly in line with my own thoughts on the connection between sexuality and spirituality.
We (a group from my congregation) and I went with a purpose, hoping to hear something about a topic she wrote about, but she didn’t touch that topic… so from that perspective, it was a bust. But what she DID speak about, had two effects on me. First, I really felt an immediate connection with what she was saying and an agreement with her observations. The second one was a bit slower in coming, as she caused me to really stretch my current positions on some issues of sexual morality… helping me to look at some issues in a bit of a different light.
Anyhow, all’s good here.
Ciao!
