Below is a copy of my Dissertation/ARP. It is centered on bullying. It is specific to young people but covers a wide range of figures from Machiavelli to Mary, ideas from Cannibalism to Communion, actions from decapitation to rehabilitation, school massacres to identity crisis behind the mascara, the saddest-sick-kid acting sadistic, and institutions or places from the White House, the school house, the Church house, the playground, and one’s home.
For those who think the description is a little too violent, my daughter is 10 and we just had to deal with the school and principal about another student who threatened to cut her head off, hang it on a wall, throw her body in a dark corner, and watch her bleed. Not far from my home was the recent Santa Fe, Texas school massacre.
I am seriously considering doing a PhD in Theology and Religion with the dissertation on the Theology of War. In the past, present, and into the future so much war has been, is, and will continue be cast on the globe by religious leaders. Considering......either way, war based on theology is prevalent in the earth today. This is true because war's strategies, stories, and tactics are in the religious books, the books that no-one can or ever will change. So we need to untwist theology, learn, and lead rightly.

UPDATED A FEW HOURS LATER
A few hours after I posted this blog, I went to my daily bible reading. I had no idea the Book of Wars would be mentioned in my daily reading schedule. I have also never considered a PhD in Theology and Religion with a dissertation on the Theology of War “ever”. To my understanding, this is the only place in the entire bible where the Book of Wars is mentioned. Of the nearly 800,000 words in the Bible, the Book of Wars shows up today? After a blog post and statement about considering a dissertation on the Theology of War, which is the first time I “ever” considered it? Ecclesiastes 9:11 says that time and chance happen to everyone. What are the chances now the address of this verse is 911? I didn’t know that was the address of the verse until I looked it up. Perhaps this is time and chance but when you write a blog about it, then write it on a goals to consider list an hour later, and then it shows up on your daily bible reading a few hours later, and the scripture you have in mind to share has the address of 911 & you didn’t know, the chances are the Lord is persuading me to a new assignment. I’ll take my chances this is the right path.
You can increase or decrease time and chance. Your chances of getting into an accident while drinking and driving are increased while your chances of not getting in an accident if you don’t drink and drive decrease. Either way it can still happen or not happen but you can increase or decrease your chances. The chances of what happened to me today about writing a theological book on war or a dissertation on the Theology of War and having the Book of Wars show up with 911 seems outside of human time and chance manipulation and more like a Divine direction.
If I was at the casino I would have hit the jackpot and be set for a very long time however what I may have just received from the Lord is priceless.
