| as part of my "spring cleaning" - graduating, sorting through junk,
moving (potentially multiple times) - i am also cleaning up as much of
the spread out stuff i have floating round cyberspace. of course it is
not possible to purge or condense everything, but i'm going to do what
i can. copying all of my old blogs and closing them down.
opening ONE new one on blogger,
as it allows a more streamlined appearance than most of the other sites
and, more importantly, i can set it to accept comments from people who
are not subscribed to that particular service. as for subscription, if
you're trying to track more than one person's blog, and you still
haven't discovered newsreaders and atom/rss feeds, well it's not too
late to learn and get all of your subscriptions in one place. i
recommend google's beta newsreader service as it does not require a plugin or additional software.
there will NOT be a transition period of double posting, cause well, double posting is a royal pain in the arse. | | |
| things i have been thinking about lately:
- loving : knowing - that is being loved and being known. can you love that which you do not know? to be really known and still loved.....
- family : friendship
- is there a difference? what is it? when does someone go from being
your friend to being family? and by extension of that, is blood family
still
family if they are not your friend?
- faith : trust : control : fear - how these interrelate. this one is a doozie. think on it.
- in love - selfishness & selflessness
- these are not always separate things... is there a line? is love ever
really 100% selfless? ex: God humbles himself to save us in an act so
debasing to himself that it would be best called selfless, yet why does
he do it? he desires to heal the breach between ourselves and him. he
doesn't need us, but he WANTS us. is that selfishness? and if it is,
what does it say about human love?
- pain : joy - is it possible to really experience one without also experiencing the
other?
can we know what pain is without having ever tasted joy? but by that
same token could we appreciate joy without having drunk deeply of
life's suffering? it seems that since i came to Christ, i have been
through deeper pain than i ever expected to know and i am sure that
greater agonies will come in their due time and place, but i have also
known greater, fuller joy than i thought possible. - longing to go Home to eternal peace and joy with the Lord vs. being suicidal
- there is a distinct difference, for i am often the former, though
never the latter. but it is an interesting distinction to think
on. i have some opinions on this, but i'd be interested to hear what
other people think.
