  • Why lies never work

    Occasionally you hear talk of "the perfect crime" and how people think they could do it, or people who thought they could. But today, sometimes decades after, often times we can figure out who did the deed. Why is it that sin never works? Well, obviously God sees everything, knows everything, and will ultimately punish every sin, but it never works because it is inherent in sin's nature.

    Sin is a lie; sin is imperfection. The antonym of sin is truth, and truth is perfect. Honestly, how can imperfection be perfect? "The perfect crime" is antynonymous to itself. Sin will always be accomplished imperfectly because sin is imperfection. Truth will always be accomplished perfectly because truth is perfect While our plans for the truth may not go as planned, truth is still perfect and thus is done perfectly.

  • Why

    Why is it that I am essentially the only one? Why aren't more people doing what is right?

    In the last year, many of the people I (or my wife) know who have been in a relationship have gotten pregnant. Almost all of them have done so out of wedlock. Further, in the past 10 years, the rest of the people I know who fit the description back when have also done the same. Yes, most of them married, but not all of them. Those closest to us got pregnant by a guy who wanted nothing to do with the mother or baby after he found out.

    But what is even more painful is most of the people in this group are, or profess to be strong Christians.

    Honestly, I don't mind being different, but why am I one of the few (or only) who is doing things completely right?
    Yes, I am proud of those who made the mistake of having premarital sex and then got married, they did the right thing in the end, but they still hurt themselves, each other and God, as well as their Christian witness.

    I will admit I went further than I should have before I was married, but it never went anywhere near sex until after the wedding. I do admit it isn't easy, but I also know it is possible, because I have made it, and Jesus is our strength.

    So why am I (essentially) the only one? Why have my brothers and sisters fallen?

  • Something to think about

    I was reinspired when I read this, and since I can't comment on this person's xanga, I will go ahead and do my post I was thinking about doing some months ago.


    I was initially inspired when I walked into my work's cafeteria and the tv was playing some Discovery channel show about space, and they commented on how if we were travelling the speed of light, it would take us several thousand years to reach the farthest star/galaxy/planet.

    But prayers are instant. Yes, prayers travel faster than the speed of light, ignore known physics, and reach God's ears instantly.

    On the physics side of things, either there are worm holes, other dimensions, or some other yet to be explained physics phenomenon. On the spiritual side of things, it is increadible. Prayer travels faster than the speed of light. Does that prove something? Yes, but what depends on how you look at it.

  • It snowed... vanilla!

    After 3 (or more) tries, the weathermen weather(wo)men weatherpeople finally got it right... It snowed. But what they did not predict, and still don't know is it apparently snowed vanilla. Yes, you read that correctly, both times. For tonight I grabbed the garbage can (while it is still permissible to grab them, and while it is permissible to call them garbage cans for that matter), and noted there was a ~8" icicle hanging from it. I grabbed the icicle (again, while it is permissible to do such) and broke it off the garbage can. I then broke it (destructive, I know). I took the garbage can to the curb (alas, I do not have first class garbage pickup like some people in other states) and entered my home. Melissa proceeded to inform me I smelled like vanilla and accuse me of having had a cookie, and glaring at me in a frightening manner (I will never be the same). I had her smell my hand (don't ask) and asked if that was what she smelled, and she confirmed it was, and I told her it was pure (or I thought at the time) ice that had dripped from the roof... So, there you have it. Authoritative proof it snowed vanilla, as a wife, especially one as beautiful as mine, is (almost) never wrong.

  • National hypocrisy

    I just realized the US is being rather hypocritical.

    Firstly, let me clearly state my position (if you don't already know it). I believe homosexuality is a sinful choice. I believe polygamy is a foolish can of worms. And while I am at it, I believe sexual relations outside of marriage is a sin. And I stick to these beliefs dearly, as they are Biblical.

    But I live in a nation where polygamy is outlawed, and polygamist families are broken up, the children often times becoming wards of the state. This same nation, at least at certain levels and locations encourages, celebrates and protects homosexuality, and even grants them adoption rights. But, no, the adopted are not the polygamist family children, that would be going too far.

    Yeah, we condemn polygamists (yes, rightly so), and then encourage homosexuals (though, most states oppose it, thankfully!). Of course I already knew this nation was hypocritical since a woman can be on her way to an abortion clinic to have an abortion, and have a drunk driver hit her. If she loses the developing baby due to the accident, the driver is charged with manslaughter, while the woman and the abortion 'doctor' would have been legally enabled to murder.
