Thoughts

I think I ended not going to Berlin for a million little reasons, all them incredibly important. So many things happened while i was here that couldn't/wouldn't have if I had gone.

Parents of handicapped kids deserve a lot of respect, and take a pure joy in their kid's smallest accomplishments.

I think I'll be a good parent one day.

Would there have been an uproar in the Christian community if Brokeback Mountain was about a heterosexual affair \ instead of a homosexual one?

Why have Christians decided to send all of their judgment at the homosexual community? If it is a sin, then please show me NEW testament scriptures that state that being gay is somehow worse than anything else?

If it had come out that Ted Haggard had been compulsively stealing cars, would the Church be up in arms about him being restored too quickly?

I hate how lazy I've been in keeping in contact with people.

I think Pharisee's get a somewhat bad rap at times, I somehow doubt every last one was corrupt, I think some were simply stuck in a broken system.

No preacher has the final word on anything, If they ever claim too then they are delusional and dangerous.

Worship is a state of the mind and of the heart, and you don't need to sing to enter it

Say, A judge has to sentence his own son to life in prison for committing murder, do you really think he takes any pleasure in it? I would imagine tears in his eyes as he said, "I love you, but your actions have consequences, and you need to accept them. Consider G-d like this, as we debate back and forth on why a loving G-d would allow people to spend eternity in hell.
