Pre-Read Book Review
I just begun to read A Call To Action: Women, Religion, Violence, and Power by Jimmy Carter. Background on Jimmy, he born in 1924 and grew up on a farm in the small rural town of Archery, Georgia. He mentions at that time growing up, there was about fifty African American families and only two Caucasian families including his own. If you are interested in the movement of equality for women, minorities, or human rights in general this is a great informative read.
"I began to realize for the first time that I lived in a community where our Bible lessons were interpreted to accommodate the customs and ethical standards that were most convenient." -Jimmy Carter
This was personally difficult for me to read because I am a believer and I have sat in many church services. After Jimmy expressed that in his book he quoted scripture that I have many times read, but now I read in different mind set.
21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
(That is usually when my head shuts off and I begin my argument to defend myself as the Alpha in the situation. But, there's more.)
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing[a] her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. 28 In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church— 30 for we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”[b] 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. (Ephesians 5:21-33 NIV)
Verses 28 and 29 say it right there! Why do we think so little of women? Why do we believe they're inferior to men? I don't think little of myself, I don't see myself lower than the man next to me. Why when ask how many women leaders can I think of (not including celebrities) and how many men leaders I can think of the ratio is 1:100.
I am excited to continue A Call To Action by Jimmy Carter. And hopefully I convinced just one person to do the same.

Class Assignment
10 Blogs I found interesting to read.
Breaking down Urban Neighbors: Downtown Neighborhood's Association, http://portal.clubrunner.ca/101053. Urban Neighbors (UN) has the vision to create and build downtown OKC as the next big community. They strive to connect with other professionals that share a reciprocal desire.
1. Strengths of Urban Neighbors are the way they promote local living and businesses. They welcomed Avana Arts District new apartments with a blog and highlight photos. UN also helps promote H and 8th, a local hangout, entertainment must do.
2. I learned from this blog that I'll get more traction if I help promote and credit others. Give love, to get love.
3. The only advice I have for Urban Neighbors is to add a search bar near or at the top of the blog. That'll help locate specific posts since there is a ton of great information.

Intro To My Blog
From the small town of Clinton, OK I was born and raised. So it's safe to say that I was taught in a narrow minded way. I wasn't given many options going up, like playing football for the Red Tornadoes. It was just expected in the 16 State Championships, small Bible belt town. It wasn't till I graduated and moved to the City that I was given choices and was challenged in many ways. I continue to learn and modify my thoughts and behaviors from previous experiences, but my core morals remain intact.
Moreover, I'm using this blog to teach men and women things that an average guy would go through and how we've been "taught" to react. I have a hard working dad that I dearly love, but I'm here to teach what I wasn't taught.
This will take patience and being non-aggressive from my readers. Don't look to argue, instead find one thing to take from my lessons.
This is a University required blog.
