Just Saying

Stumbling sucks.

Finding Sin in Others

I was listening to the Rector's homily on Sunday and got thinking about "worrying about other people's sin", and immediately thought about evangelical Christians and how they typically find sin in others. Then I thought she could be talking about me and my view on SSM. But I try so hard not to. It's wrong for me and I never say they're going to hell. But, I'm still a bigot.

See Evil

Do you see evil? I see it everywhere. I'm not talking about murderers and pedophiles. I'm talking about signs of insidious evil. It's all around us. Evil doesn't hide anymore. You do have to choose to see it.

Wife Work

	There ARE days when I think St. Paul was right to say not to take a wife. Marriage is a lot of work...and stress.

Heritage

I don't get people today. So many people willingly throw away their heritage. And, they openly embrace secular humanism...or worse, witchcraft. All that new age stuff.... You know, I don't see a big difference between Laveyian Satanism and Atheism.

Distance

Sometimes we have to enjoy our children from a distance. My daughter has been so miserable lately that I get little from our interaction. Everybody tells me that it's just a teen thing. Today at Church, I saw her interacting with her Sunday School students. There was joy, amusement, and love in her expressions. Yet I knew, that if I approached, her whole demeanor would change. But it got me thinking: A Facebook friend posted a Voltaire quote about how you can't free a fool from the chains they revere; when God watches a secular humanist being a good person and yet choosing to be distant from Him, does He feel the same thing in His heart that I do?

Packed Psalm

I was reading from the 69th Psalm the other day. Wow, was it ever packed. It was really speaking to me. First, there was the identification I made at the beginning of the reading, about how I am ridiculed for my faith by unbelievers. Then, as I read on, I found it very Jesus packed. You know when people talk about finding Jesus in the Old Testament? Well, here He was!
