Where Are the Women of Theology?

Dear Reader, As I mentioned in a previous post , at the beginning of the summer I signed up for the London Fellows Programme, a theology and personal discipleship course being run through a local church.  I'm mostly on track to complete the required pre-reading and will have my first response papers due in mid-September.  Topics thus far have included the person of God (A.W.Tozer's The Knowledge of the Holy ) and the role of God's grace in our salvation (John Piper's Legacy of Sovereign Joy ).   But I'm distracted.

But I have a new blogging idea. A couple of years ago, I picked up a book about mind mapping .  I haven't done much with it, but figured if there was ever a time for improved study habits, now is that time.  So, you can expect the occasional mind-map-book-summary from me.... hopefully they improve over time!

It was raining when I arrived at Olympic park, and the wheelchair tennis had been paused.  When the drizzle stopped, volunteers pushed water off the court, and then dried it with blowers and towels. It was a close match but in the end Peter Norfolk (GBR) right, beat Anders Hard (SWE) left.
