stuff that is happening

so I am on the last day of my 4-day weekend, about to head out the door to go over to Coeur D Alene to hang out with a bunch of the guys and watch fireworks. Just got back from camping up north of town in the mountains. Car overheated badly on the way back, had to get it towed back to our house. Insurance covered that. After about pulling my hair out finaly discovered the source of the problems was a leak around the water pump. Hopefully stay home from work tomorrow and replace that. Well, gotta run.

hm, thats interesting

So, what better way to get people to come to church than an airshow? But seriously, this is pretty sad. Is this where the church has gotten to in our "enlightenment". Theres definently a lot wrong with this whole thing.

why do they always want a title?

Sometimes I think that I come across too...judgemental and harshly on people. I mean, I have my views, and for the most part I have pretty strong reasons to think they are the correct views, but where do you draw the line when it comes to truth and love? Or must a line be drawn? I know that Christ is offensive to the non-elect, and He is offensive to the flesh, but God is love, and we are to show his love... at some point we must be sure we are more than just clanging cymbals. People say that I am young, with not much life experience, and that in time I will see that things are not so clear, that issues are not so important. Some even say that I will eventually question what I believe and find "other" truth. Them I dont believe, but is there truth in what the first lot say? There is usually at least an element of truth in any statement. I dont know. I can see right now that issues are usually very complicated, more complicated than meets the eye, yet it is usually possible to reduce them to a core point, that if it doesnt elucidate the matter entirely, at least allows much light to be shed. Then again, we are beset all around by a humanistic reletivistic world that lies and tells us that we cannot know what is truth, that there is no truth, that we are arrogant for claiming there is such a thing and that we know it. We must be sure we do not overeact to such a worldview in our own worldview (a lesson of history), but also, arent we called to be "not of this world"?
