My arm is still hurting from that shot I got on Monday. And I am feeling tired mostly, I have hit the sack early for the last 3 nights. Today is Remembrance Day and all over Canada we stopped to remember those who have fallen, and also for those who serve. It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood for people to gather at various monuments and parks across Canada.

I spent the day doing research for my two papers. I spent a couple of hours at the Department going through all the research books that we have available to us there. I started working on Irenaeus and that led me to Eusebius of Caesarea which led me to Origen of Alexandria. I have to come up with a paper based on someone from the first millenium, and after doing all the reading I did today, I might move from my original topic of Irenaeus and work on Origen, since I am already familiar with his work from my Trinity class over the summer.

I think I can pump out a 15 page paper on Origen and Christology. I am working on compiling articles and journals, I went to the library to look up more books… I already have a stack of books here on the dining room table that I am reading through now and put a few more on reserve at the library.

I am also working on my paper on Sophia and her role in Gnsotic Comogony. I have worked from my bibliography today and reserved more books on the topic. I am reading Elizabeth Schussler Fiorenza’s Jesus, Miriam’s Child, Sophia’s Prophet – feminine theology. So much reading so little time.

So that was my day in brief …

I will have more tomorrow. More to come, stay tuned …
