One of the hardest things I have to deal with while attending university is the constant challenging of my faith.  Something like the debate between creation and evolution, my semester starts by challenging my trust in man-kind.  Each invention, convention, ideology, theory and idiom exposes me to the power systems that place men in a authoritative role that facilitates their subjecting women, children and the weak to their whim.  It's evident in the Bible, politics, governments, business, everywhere I look or read.  Then, the question of linguistics and social constructions purpose gets skewed with the feminist theories of the post human rights and equalities which, definitly do not mirror the Utopia promised by 'Heaven on Earth'.  Finally, I get grounded when it all proves itself out in the end toward a purpose that I'm still trying to uncover.  By the end of the term, my God still reigns supreme and his Word is proven out.  Yet, the whole purpose of the story still evades me.  I look forward to reaching the end.
