This summer, I was in the Biola library and I saw a new release. Interesting title, important topic, and written by a respected scholar. The book?
"The Meaning of Sex" by Dr. Dennis Hollinger.Dr. Hollinger is President of Gordon-Conwell Seminary, and also serves as Professor of Christian Ethics. Christian sexual ethics and morality. I checked it out and started reading it. I'm a nerd, I enjoy reading random theology. Good times.
Shawn looks like perv.Well, that week was the week before our summer retreat (MORe) and we had planned our last leadership meeting at the beach. So I went to the beach early in the morning, grabbed my book, and was reading. I didn't even think that people might look at me funny reading a "sex book" at the beach. At least until some girls walked by me, looked at me funny, then walked off.
From Southern California to Seoul, KoreaSo why tell this story now? This week, Dr. Hollinger is visiting Korea and spoke at Torch Trinity's chapel today. Afterwards, I shared the story with him and his wife, and they both got a good laugh out my sitting on the sand at Huntington and getting stared at for the book.
Still, it was totally worth getting looked at like a byunt, just so I had something to share with Dr. Hollinger.

Haha. Next time you're in town and you're reading a book by the beach, call me up. I'll come by and laugh at you. ;)
