Vulnerable
Just finished listening to Safran and Bob on Triple J (i get the podcasts so I’m a bit behind) and headed over to the Fr Bob site to see what’s up.

Searching for Refreshment
Last night I went to my theology lecture (Introduction to Theology) and we had Don Saines talking about the Spirit (pneumatology).

Salvation
Just a few quick words about my theology lecture last night. The topic was Christology (study of the person of Christ) and Soteriology (The study of Christs work of salvation). It was a bit dense as the topic is really to big to stuff into one 3 hour lecture.
