Seeing as I have very few if any readers, you probably don't know that every once in a while I put profiles up on online dating websites, just to see if there is anyone out there. There isn't. Okay, I take that back, there are plenty, but with me being who I am, there is seriously no one out there like me.
One places asks you to choose how you define your faith the answers range from "I'm still trying to figure it out" all the way to "It defines who I am". I am both those answers but not the ones in between. I am still trying to figure it out and it defines who I am. But, the guys who do their answer as "I'm still trying to figure it out" aren't really trying to figure it out, and the ones that say "it defines who I am" are way too intense for me.
I want to meet a scruffy mountain man who cleans up nicely, he's probably an anarchist, he loves laughing, he loves reading and thinking about things, he takes care of himself and other people, he never wants to stop growing. This man believes in God, but doesn't worry about anything more than living out what Jesus taught in loving God and people. He probably is an environmentalist in some ways. He's approximately 6'-6 5". (My preference would be black hair and blue eyes... haha) He loves family. He's somewhere between the ages of 26-32. I guess that's about it. I don't think I'm asking too much, but maybe I am.
So, if you happen to know of anyone who fits in with at least the majority of these criteria, let me know. I would very much like to meet him.
I spent the afternoon at Borders today finishing up a study on Philippians 2. Brent asked me to share my thoughts on it this coming Sunday at church. I immediately said that I would, but the more I thought about it, the more I was unsure of the whole idea. I'm more than halfway a heretic. I rarely read the Bible these days. Paul bothers me, and he wrote the majority of the new testament. For instance. In Philippians 2, he's talking about how we should treat other people as more important than ourselves, being humble, and so on. However, he ends out the chapter by being an ass. He's talking about Epaphroditus and how he almost died to supply their lack of service to him. He's just being so arrogant there, laying on the guilt trip that it bothers me greatly.
I also ended up reading Girards book "How to sell anything to anybody" Very interesting.
Happy Ground Hog day. Early spring this year!! ;) At least, it better be, this has been quite the humdinger of a winter so far.
