-Gave my first charge ever at a wedding this weekend. Used Ephesians 5. The wedding was outside, it was hot and I was sweating on my notes. And on my face. I did not marry the couple of course because there is no "power vested in me" so to speak.
-Stop watching Charlie the Unicorn, it will rot your brain. "We're on a bridge Charlie!"
-The saying, "You only live once" is tricky.
-It is sometimes hard for me to discuss/debate topics because a)sometimes the topic while "biblical" in concept has no real bearing on how I live my life and therefore is relgated to the unenviable position of "nice to know things that are biblical in concept but have no real bearing on my life" i.e. the validity of slavery as a biblical concept or myriad other subjects. I have never had a servant/slave and I never will. While I appreciate that Jesus never spoke against slavery as a practice I can see how "loving my neighbor as myself" would probably prohibit me from keeping slaves and b)if the subject being debated does have actual "liveable" worth I usually already have taken a position on the subject. If anyone would care to know my position I would be happy to explain it to them and have them decide the validity of my stance. I would be happy to answer any questions they may have regarding said stance and the reason I subscribe/hold/endorse said position. Intellectual/verbal fencing (while sometimes an exciting spectator's sport) has too much potential to become emotional bloodletting sprinkled with veiled (or obvious) personal attacks. I'd rather spend my time reconnecting with loved ones, interacting with them, hopefully building them up/encouraging them and maybe, just maybe, letting down my guard and really sharing my heart with the few people in this world I trust. But I'm getting ahead of myself here.
-Everywhere you live will have its good points and bad point so just go where God leads. Stop trying to figure everything out, no one can.
-People fill their lives hoping to find that one thing, that one thing that's gonna be the answer. If people are honest that is what everyone is looking for and it gets depressing for those who think they found it and it turns out that what they found just wasn't it. It's Christ, and that's easy to write and so much harder for people( particularly people with a lot of things) to accept. And christians, we want crutches.
-It' hard for me to write fiction with an outline.
-Also, get off Rodney Stuckey, haters. He came from a small college program, he began playing with the most established starting five in the NBA and he's still learning. Chauncey Billups wasn't a great point guard when the Piston's signed him. Stuckey is obviously talented so step off.
-Nighty night

Cool on the wedding charge.
I try not to watch Charlie. . .I can actually FEEL the rotting taking place.
I appreciate your stance on debate/discussion.
You are absolutely right about Christ being what we need. I appreciated that paragraph too.
We will be home this weekend. We'll have to get together sometime before School starts.
