thinkin...
I have been reading the di vinci code and thinking about why there always seem to be more motivated women about than men and i think i have vague theory...
woman was created last, more mysterious and beautiful than all, the pinacle of God's creation, from the rib of man, in my opinion, to illustrate our dependancy on her, that man is not complete without woman, "it is not good for a man to be alone" "a man should leave his mother and father and be united with his wife"
in the middle ages pagan goodess worship was rife and to stamp it out loads of mad stuff happened witch trials, murder of smart ladies etc etc. a lot of women were killed needlessly and to look up to woman at all could have had your head on a block, now this could be hugely inaccurate but i reckon a whack of traditional church doctrine was written around then...
so here we are a good few hundred years later, woman not understood or honoured as they should be and men lacklusture and uncertain... but women instinctively know they have been robbed of their right to understanding and respect and so in the western world over the last 50 years, they fight for equality and achieved it. Man's lack of belief or understanding in himself is conpounded as women are now being better men than them, but still some areas of the church hang on to a women-inferior attitude and sexism survives in the background....
so i am suggesting that womens fight for equality was right but ended up in sameness, i actually think we need to go one step further and truly revere the Godly beauty of women (beauty as a character not just a physical word) understanding that man cannot be man without woman, not neccessaryily in a personally intimate relationship, but to generally rejoyce in and healthly repect their unique qualities and heart.
Allowing ourselves to be inspiried in this way, allowing God to talk to us through them freely will rejunvinate us, allowing us to be inspired to greater things. And in this process women will be rightly elevated so they are not becoming hard in the process of forcing men to appreciate them but are free to achive all they can.
this is all loose thought so please gimme a comment
on a much lighter note click here for a double dragon type flash game, its not quite right but will definately bring back a few happy gameboy/NES/arcade memories...

"Mysterious"... that doesnt even begin to sum them up!!!!
think there could be some wisdom in it! Am beginning to think tho, that the rightful,godly balance between men and women was also destroyed at the fall, not to say it can't be restored in Jesus, but will always reamin contentious. Challenge to the church tho is to model this balance,your suggestions could be a good starting point...could totaly go off on one this subject is huge! will refrain for now....
my blog is no place for restraint... rant away
