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.
