T.B.N.D and Dr. Fettke

A few of my classmates and I went to the Theatre of Winter Haven to see The Boys Next Door. I thought that it was good. I am not sure I would have ever paid the full $20 dollars to see it but I went opening night so it was only $10 so I feel much better about that! I really disliked the guy who played Jack. He did not portray the character very well, but besides that the rest of the characters were good. My favorite character and actor was the guy who played Lucien. He was brilliant. My favorite part of the play was Lucien's monologue. It was powerful and impacting. The actor really pulled me into the play at that point. I could feel what he was feeling and what he was saying. It was legit. So overall, despite the price,The Boys Next Door was a good field trip and a worthwhile experience.

The Spirit of God Hovered Over the Waters: Creation, the local Church, and the Mentally and Physically Challenged, A Call to Spirit-led Ministry by: Dr. Fettke was really good. I enjoyed reading it. It really brought up some interesting, convicting points. The church of God is clearly not being what God has called us to be...and that is sad. The first thing that popped out to me was when Fettke stated, "I would like to propose defining 'normal' as simply being created in God's image." What a bold and interesting statement. No matter how normal or abnormal one may seem, when it comes down to it, we all are created in the imago dei. These impairments are not always negative, they make up who the person is. Despite whatever issues one person may have, they are loved by God. "Nothing can separate us from the love of God." Romans 8:38-39.
