Big day.

Moving in three hours.

I'm going to skip Mass today, what with so much going on, but I think my obligation has been fulfilled by two discussions with others about Catholicism and my beliefs. Just now, I tried to explain the history of the concept of "salvation by Faith alone." Yesterday, I spent a few hours on IM with a friend discussing the interstice of religion, God, spirituality and sex. Here's a brief summary of the latter:

Sex is complicated but also fun, silly, dangerous and transcendent. Rituals necessarily include arbitrary tasks. I have a hard time talking about sex in great detail because my experience and memory of it decidedly non-verbal. I have a great friend, whose views on sex and life are definitely not frivolous.
