Hmmmm...
Here is an interesting "Theology of the Body" observation. On my 45 minute walk this morning, I listened to my iPod shuffle. I have two versions of "You've Got a Friend", one by Carol King, and the other by James Taylor.
The woman, the one that nurtures and gathers in, sings, "When you're down, and troubled, and you need some loving care..."
The man, the one that is action oriented, and externally engages the world, sings, "When you're down and troubled, and you need a helping hand..."
Carole King originally wrote the song, and apparently when James Taylor recorded it, he changed it. I wonder why?

Bwahahahahahaha, that is a funny observation.
Two X chromosomes...that is why. I can see James Taylor showing up with a pick up truck to lend a hand. Carole King on the other hand might offer a cream cheese and jelly on sourdough bread sandwich. Or is she more of a cotto salami kind of girl?
