6 more days

when I saw that dad had updated this blog, I was afraid that he had written a political blog post. Considering that being a JesusPerson does not mean having a certain political viewpoint, specially displayed in the fact that Dad and I do not agree in this election (yep), I am glad he didn't.

That, and who needs another political blog post? [ok i do admit that i've already written one on my own blog]


p.s. jon and kate plus eight, the bachelor, dancing with the stars, to name a few, are some of Dad's favorite reality shows... :)

pastor swap

Someone asked me which Reality Show was my favorite My Favorite Reality Show is called Pastor Swap; a black, liberal, Harvard & Yale Divinity schools pastor changes places for one month with a white 3rd grade educated pentecostal, snake handling poison drinking heaving pastor from the hills of Tennessee. Unfortunately the show was canceled after one episode. Something about the black pastor dying of snake bite and the white pastor inducing a riot his first Sunday when he introduced his favorite rattlesnake, Clyde, to the audience and asked "Who's first?"

Well it would be better than some...

whether you like weather

in That Hideous Strength, by C.S. Lewis, there is a couple who is described as liking weather. when asked what type of weather, they respond that they like all kinds of weather. i wish i did. i like some parts of most types of weather, but not all of all types of weather. i've experienced tornadoes (in florida it is called tornadic activity), hurricanes, earthquakes, snow storms, thunder storms, gentle warm soft rain as found in hawaii, and sunny days at beaches on both coasts and in the caribbean. i prefer sunny days at the beach, any beach, although my favorites are found in granada & san diego. my preferences might be shallow. after shoveling nearly 70 inches of snow this winter i might be bias.

but even recognizing my preferences or weather limitations, i admit that all weather has the hand of God.

i don't always understand the weather, especially when weather causes tragedy. why doesn't God stop the weather that hurts? why isn't every day a sunny, warm day everyplace on the earth?

i don't know.
i don't understand.

this life still has mysteries.
