Single word musings and weddings

Stuff...

What if that was my whole blog? "stuff..." Like nothing else but that. I wonder if anyone could anything into that? It would obviously be the most insightful blog i would ever write! But because to the mass media and the poporazzi that would surely flock to me and everyone i know... i think i'll write normal blogs. I know i write the one word blog right before i die, that way i won't have to witness the global impact it would have.

Anyway, Alex (one of my best friends) is getting maarried saturday. He decided to be daring and live life on the edge, i'm his best man. I'm kinda expecting the world to end saturday. Na, it'll be one of the most wonderful thing i have ever been a part of. Friday will be the day i practice taking a ring out of my pocket. Hey I'll be The Lord of The Ring...

So i have decided to take now till the new year off from the prayer group. However i'm starting it off with a bang, I got a pastor friend of mine to agree to come every other week, maybe also encouraging his congregation (a bunch of my friends) to come too. I just gotta figure out a way to better acomodate efcc.

Motivation for studying theology

You know when you meet someone new and you totally jive with them. You want to ask them a million questions because you just met your new close friend. You can't wait to spend time getting to know them and could easily spend hours talking with them. You end up with quite a large collection of facts about them, but more importantly, you feel like you kinda know who they are to some degree. Over the course of getting to know them maybe your initial assumptions were proved wrong and you're all the happier for it. You find yourself trying to adapt their best qualities into your life thereby enriching yourself through them. I submit that studying theology could be, even should be like that. The pursuit of theology has a very different feel than sitting with your new friend, but why? I think the motivation behind it is key. If you like a person and simply want to know more about them, you have a natural hunger for knowledge, but also, experience. You want to experience things with th...

Acceptance?

This entry is not a thought or idea i'm putting forth to be adopted or critiqued. This is a window into my struggles. I'm not pretending i got the perfect perspective or that my views are correct, this is possibly my most bitter longest standing battle.I'm writing this for two reasons, to gain a new perspective on my own situation. Also maybe such a struggle will glorify God, because ultimately he'll be the solution. In theory acceptance is super simple, it's just the acknowledgement of something. Ideally negative feeling will subside and just kinda go away. Well I woke up today and among the intelligible sludge of pre-coffee thoughts was this nagging sense that i still haven't accepted my disability. It's a super annoying feeling of emotional dissonance, two things in opposition to each other. One is this hopeful excitement for all the future possibilities coupled with a waxing and waning stubbornness. The other is this acute sense of limitations defiantly ...

Security of faith

I love science, it really jives well with my OCD, and who doesn't have a touch of OCD these days? Pure science is a logical process applied to something for the purpose of uncovering an unbiased truism. The truth can then be tested in every conceivable way and become well defined. Then you really got something! Science, in its innocence, is a beautiful thing and is to be aspired to. Unfortunately people can be better at the logical process than others, and so ensues the bitter sweet power struggle. Which brings all the fun of politics careening into the pursuit of truth. When people start lying about stuff and you get a bunch of people to agree to lie too, you have the monstrosity of popular science. Charismatic scientist can leverage their findings against ideas they deem offensive. Science and logic, like everything else, can be twisted into weapons to oppress. I thought too highly of science coming out of high school. I had my faith, which i could defend logically fair decently....
