I had been told that I wasn't going to be working on the second volume of CCA's Scaer book because I had my hands full of other projects. After a little moping last month over missing out on the fun, I resigned myself to reading the book when it's all finished and done and published. But because of pressing deadlines, on Thursday I got told that I get to look part of it over. Yeehaw! This weekend I had plans that pretty much got overridden for editing reasons, but oh, the articles are so great!!
Just in what I've looked at so far, there's one article on the ascension that's presented in a way that I hadn't previously thought of. There's an article on the problem with women's ordination, but without simply resorting to "the law says it's wrong, so we can't do it." There's an article on using masculine names for God. There's an article on the differences between the Protestants and the Lutherans, and how it's not "just about the Sacraments" but how the differences reveal what we think about God and who He is and what He has done. One article delves into what confirmation is and why we have it. I noticed one article is entitled "Preaching Sanctification" and that should prove intriguing, to be sure!
Now I should get off the computer, and grab my red pen and my dictionary again, and get back to my playtime. Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!

You aren't the only one who considers a project involving a dictionary and a red pen to be fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI missed seeing you this weekend! But I'm very glad to know you were doing something you enjoy so much!
ReplyDeleteShe turned us down for a BOOK. (sniff, sniff.)
ReplyDeleteBut it's ok. Sounds like GOOD book.
Barbara, I find it amusing that my daughter truly knew she was getting to be a grown-up when I started marking up her school papers with a red pen. Up to that point, the only thing she'd seen me do with a red pen was to mark up articles/books by men who had masters or doctorates.
ReplyDeleteCheryl and BabyElephant, I missed you guys too. But I didn't turn you down for "just a book." I turned you down for the GOSPEL eloquently and sweetly expressed in the words of Dr Scaer. (Wait! Did I just use the word "sweet" in connection with David Scaer? I bet I could be shot for that!)
We got a 48-hour extension on the work. Still not gonna finish what needs to be done, but at least more of it will get tackled before deadline.
