Why is it that my hair only looks good when I'm not trying?
I would pay good money (in the event I had good money) to see Dennis Kucinich or Howard Dean debate G.W. Oooh! Or Ariana Huffington vs. G.W....why do I get such a kick out of this stuff?
It's amazing to me that we Christians spend all this time worrying about "the will of God" when all we really have to do is follow Him and obey His Word. I am the worst in this category...but getting better.
I hate how complicated the roles (or lack thereof) of men and women have become. Our society values femininity in men and masculinity in women. It's completely backward, and for those of us "in, but not of" Christians, finding a balance between socially acceptable behavior and Biblical truth can be overwhelming. Just look at the section in any bookstore regarding "relationships". Maybe I should strike while the iron is hot...hmm...I could write one of those.
Has Martha Stewart really done that much for women? Sure, she's helped femininity to become more appealing than it has in the past. But really I think she just stresses the average woman out, because there's no way on earth we could ever find the time or resources to accomplish the things she does in a half hour.
Every time I'm in my car I marvel at how absolutely rude and obnoxious people are on the road. For some odd reason the impulse to heap curses on a man's head or ruin his property are far more real than when I'm in a line at the grocery store. I don't understand what the difference is...why people feel so free to be complete jerks on the road. Maybe it's the false security of a huge piece of metal around you.
.....Well, that's about as random as I could be right now. Thomas Sowell (great columnists) was the inspiration. I like disjointed thoughts occasionally. This was one such occasion.
Ciao!
