Bible study at church on Lutheranism 101. He selected the book that the Missouri Synod printed on this teaching so we have a lot of interesting conversations. Myself, having been raised in the Missouri Synod church and made the decision to move to the ELCA Lutheran church has mixed understanding of this book. I know what I was taught in confirmation class and what I had in my head from that - but I also have issues with their interpretation of the Bible. Today's study was on (but not only) women in the church. I found it very enlightening.
On this day
1987 -- I found today's memory funny. It said I was babysitting Josh and David from next door. I would have also had my two year old, Nicole. So, after lunch I took David to school for kindergarten and when I got back Josh took a nap. It doesn't say that Nicole took a nap because she never, hardly ever took a nap -- then. Now she can take a nap 15 minutes after getting out of bed in the morning. Go figure!
1987 - The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 508 points. It was the worst one-day percentage decline, 22.6%, in history. Surprisingly enough, Ronald Reagan was President.
