Uncomfortable

Has anyone else had a diminutive bald man with a New England see you stand up and lisp, "Well you're a tall drink of water!"

Its weird, and I didn't like it.

It might be a few days before I post again as my next post will be my hundredth and I'm gonna make it special.

"Sometimes its good to be naked."

Honest Question- Raised by a friend outside of my family, calm down, all hypothetical.

If one of your siblings was getting married to a non believer would you attend the ceremony? I absolutely would go to the man's bachelor party, to keep him from dishonoring my sister the night before their wedding. And I can see myself getting more involved in my sister's life afterwards, because she will need support and love all the more. My question isn't whether I would drop out of her life. Certainly not, just the opposite. I can't support the union, because he can't love her as Christ loves the Church, because he doesn't love Christ. Her father is going to have to continue doing that for him. Her Father is still her covenant head in many bregards. My Question is; would i attend the ceremony (coming from the middle latin awed, or revered rite) between a believer and a nonbeliever?

Morgan is still smarter than me

"In my shop, I'll sell things to people, and jordan will fix their hair, and you'll stand at the door and draw pictures for the walls and mom will where a giant chicken suit and wave signs outside."

Morgan is smarter than me

According to my 7 year old sister: "Gymnastics is the best thing ever... except for God, and Jesus,... and friends and family... and life... oh oh oh and forgiveness. So its the seventh greatest thing ever. maybe gymnastics is just cool."

Sister Nature

Today is one of those days where the weather couldn't be the way it is without a story behind it. Surely something happened that we don't know about. The fallen earth is crying, big wet tears rolling down her cheek and into her soup. Everything is wet. She's not ripping her hair out and tearing her dress. She's sulking in a corner, and she doesn't want your hand on her shoulder. The boy she loves through a water balloon at her. Someone hit her dog with a car. You didn't want her hanging out with her friends. I just want to hug her, tell her it will be ok. Beat the boy. Buy a new Dog. Bring her along. but I can't. So I think we'll just take a nap together.

Life

There is nothing wrong with going through life asleep, as long as you're dreaming.

What is your favorite movie?

For the whole argument go to

Christian you’ve played into my hand. A movie is a painting, a picture of an idea. We get to pick the meaning. You said you’ll let your sons watch it “when they reach a certain age.” The age when they will garner the right meaning. I’m old enough to see that a Nietzschian will to power can only be (almost) consistently applied by a man who is certifiably insane and that the results are destructive (yes david a nihilistic win but because I’m not a nihilist, i consider it a catastrophe). I honestly wasn’t old enough when I first saw it and definitely thought how cool it would be to start a fight club and be a slick sonofabitch like Tyler Durden (at this point it would be good to point out that I never wanted to be a terrorist). I used the movie for evil, or a least I was evil in how I viewed the movie. I now view it in a morally edifying way. A movie can’t have a moral quality in vacuum (the existential aspect is necessary for the movies ethic.) The movie isn’t wicked sitting on my shelf. I think this is true with any art. You can view The Birth of Venus with respect for the artist, and with wonder at God’s gifts, or you can masturbate to it. The Art is the situation and there are decrees about how we should interact with it. Without interaction we can’t evaluate the art. David makes a good point: looking at nihilism can be edifying in the context of the truth. I think that context of truth will prevent viewing certain things as well. I comprehensively understand the evil that a pornographic snuff film portrays without watching one.

I absolutely admit that Fight Club makes an evil argument. If I listen to the argument, the movie has induced me to evil. If I argue back, the movie has been edifying and has strengthened my defenses. I think my main point is that good and evil are considerably more providential then inherent.
