Proverbs 31:10-31

If GOD is like the sun,
then a good wife is like the moon.
She is always there,
always the same,
always different.
Depending on the day,
the week, the month.
Depending on the circumstance.
When the Sun is nowhere to be seen,
it is His light reflected by the moon that guides men.
If a man casts his shadow across her,
how will he sea his hand in front of his face?
He is lost;
he must be still,
& wait for the morning.
The next night,
he will have learned
to step out of the way.

so i was thinking...
was Jesus Christ a liberal, or a conservative? there are so many angles to the subject, it almost gave me a headache.

the sunset through the kitchen window is beautiful, & sad. the sunset has always been there, its beauty hidden behind the beauty of the forest between my window & the horizon. this new beauty is revealed @ the expense of the the old, beautiful forest which now no longer exists.
the awe of a dazzling sunset is lessened by the memory of what has been lost.

here's a phrase i don't believe in: "i Love you, but..." this implies that there is a consideration more important than Love. this, to me, is unacceptable.
if GOD is Love, it follows that @ least the concept, if not the word itself, should be regarded as sacred. if i truly Love you, every actoin will be an expression of that Love. i will never say,"i Love you but..." i will say instead, "i Lve you, so..." or "i Love you &..." the profession of my Love will be followed by the expression of my Love.

1) reply w/your name & i'll write something "random" @ you.
2) i'll tell you what movie &/or song reminds me of you.
3) pick a flavor of jello in which to wrestle w/you.
4) say something that only makes sense to you.
5) give you a nickname.
6) tell you what animal you remind me of .
7) then i'll ask you something i've always wondered @ you.

so what's the deal w/ taxing my income tax refund? no way is that ethical, or in any way justifiable. they already got a 24month, interest-free loan outta me, & now they want some back?

i caught a man picking up the cigarette i'd just discarded today. when he was done w/ it, i went over & gave him a fresh one. he was lighting it as i drove away. the deed left me w/ mixed feelings.

my engine runs hot, & my feet stay cold. you'd think there might be a single solution for both these problems, but you'd be wrong. dead wrong.
