Some hard thoughts, realizations and questions. First off, i like blogging

because my diary is at home; yeah, one of those old-fashioned things, made of paper.  So, anything bordering on specific will have to wait until i get home.  And even then, not too specific, because even a fraction of a "multitude of words" leads to sin.  Neither does it take a Bible scholar to realize that when the Lord said (i think in Isaiah) that His thoughts are infinitely higher than ours.

In other words, even really smart people are basically a buncha nobody-weetards.  Our thoughts concerning the here and now, what we see everyday, are completely whack.  Whatever we create, an article, a picture, a song,  unless totally Lord-centered (whom we've not seen) is so totally irrelevant.

Most of us won't make it.  And irrelevant me has a really hard time getting all praisey-maisey, gushy-gushy in light of that fact.  We're supposed to fear the Lord - as in trembling.  So pray tell, how am i to draw close to the King of kings, when i am afraid of Him?

Can shure empathize with the skeptics, because many of them are hard-pressed to be able to differentiate His judgment from that of a narc.  Needful to say, many a skeptic was victimized by ravenous wolves slinging Scripture.  Uh, can ya spell quiverfOOl (punk)patriarchs cramming their morbidly exhausted wife (or wives) and 10 kids into a dented excuse of a double-wide tin-can?  Spiritual abuse, happens.  ALOT!  And most congregations DON'T want to hear it.  Uh-uh, just placate, play nice with pugnacious pee-wee.

Yay, for Pastor Crippen.  Yeah, i know, he's a calvinist and uses an ESV.  But KJB-believing me is so grateful to hear his validating voice in the wilderness - he says ya can't play patty-cakes with the devil.  Extreme evil people aren't like regular sinners.  The garden-variety lost person doesn't thrive on making other people miserable.  Most lost people won't nose in your cube when you're at lunch, get ya in trouble with the boss; most lost people will gladly help out when the mail's real heavy, and even may float ya a few bucks till payday.  In short, most people are decent.

Yeah i get it, since the fall, our perception of good and evil is every bit as skewed as the loud-mouthed mail-clerk who really thinks he (or she) knows the business better than the man (or woman) who went to business college, took the $eriou$ risk to start the company - and has successfully kept it going for the last 30 years.  Yeah, i get it.

And it's soon time to get off this bus.

Wow, Peeps decon'd bigtime. Oh could it be, one too many churchians - who have no worries

about paying the electric bill - had been on her about allowing "the cares of the world..."  Ya know, the same smuggies who chirp on with, oh, "be warm, be filled..."  And, of course, don't do jack to help.  Peeps, in a recent article and response to a comment on her blog, is quite grieved.  Well no sheet sherlock - her earlier posts explain.  So, show me ANYONE professing Christ, who would chide her for her legit worries, and i'll show you someone who is  getting off spouting bible-eze.

Speaking of "be warm..."  Got one of those letters from a certain high-life livin' retIree.  From things said, over the years (before they moved south) she seems to come off as a mocker and wants to start sheet.  Once at a Bible study she had attempted to get in my face, when i had attempted to explain narcs' subtle wickedness; only the Lord's grace kept me from telling her off.  i will, when i get around to it, grayrock respond.
