wow, definitely not things i'm good at (especially speech). but i'm doing a speech and debate class at church. it's a homeschool group thing. the speech part i'm not exactly thrilled about, but the debate part sounds pretty cool. tomorrow will be my second class. alot of my friends did it last year, but this is my first year. the subject for the debate is 'should women hold political offices?' yeah, when mrs. w announced the subject everyone goes, "oooooooohh!" it was funny. yeah, i'm sure there will be some very strong opinions, but i'm not really sure yet. i did some research on it today, but i still really don't know. i would say that i think women should definitely be able to hold political offices, but i'm not really sure what God's opinion on that is. that's what's really important. i must say that sometimes it seems unfair that the Bible says that men are head over women, but i also am kinda glad that i don't have the responsibility that men do. i mean, i would be so upset if i actually thought that since man was created first, he's supposed to be the head of the home, only men should be pastors, etc. it meant that i (being a girl) wasn't as important to God as guys are. but i know that God loves me just as much as he loves any guy. and He loves any guy just as much as He loves me. it is a very tough subject though, i think. i'm glad i'm just gonna be doing the research for one of the teams, and not the actual debating. =)
oh yeah, i found this awesome blog today, it has a post about this subject and i think it's interesting. (read the comments as well, i found them even more interesting than the post itself!) ok, here it is: splinters of silver
