Restroom Revelations

You don't get to be my age without having the question of faith come up into conversations with peers. Some believe, and some don't.  That falls under the umbrella of personal freedom, and not for me to judge. My question is whether or not people use faith as justification for their actions?  We see this happen in radical islamic actions.  Their faith totally justifies killing us. Before you get all hot and bothered when I ponder that we, as Christians, do it too, understand that we do. Look at how we treat people we believe are sinners.  Prostitutes, gay people, alcoholics, drug addicts, people who wear white after Labor Day. What if those people that you perceive as sinners are simply following their faith?  What if they just felt like white was a good color for them that day? Some people of faith believe in preordination, and others believe in free will.   If you believe in preordination, then aren't you doing God's will this very second? ...

I love sunrises.  All the hope that a new day dawning brings.  All the promise of adventure.

I know, I know, people are supposed to say something before they drop off like that. It's been my experience that you are either blogging ...or doing stuff to blog about. In my case, the last two weeks have been filled with the latter. I drove 2550 miles approximately in one week.  And I can't tell you a thing. Just kidding.  I had a great time!  Catching up with old friends, and a much-needed vacation at the beach. Took in a show, got sunburnt, drank margaritas on the beach. It just didn't last long enough.
