Okay, so I'm not going to write EVERY DAY, but I thought perhaps it was necessary to at least explain the "sleeping with your brother" ponder I had a while back before too much time elapses from my last post. Hope that is okay. If it isn't okay - well - I'm pretty sure there isn't a gun to your head MAKING you read this. :) For those of you brave enough to continue… here we go! (Don't worry - it's not going to be a long explanation)
So… you know how sometimes you read things in the Bible and then kind of go - wait, what? Well, this wasn't exactly one of THOSE times, but I was thinking about the Bible… Old Testament… and it occurred to me that there had to have been a time where God finally said to everyone - "Okay. I just need you to know that it is now NOT okay to sleep with your brother/sister in order to populate the earth." One day it WAS okay… the next day (whenever that day was) it was NOT. So I was wondering how/when that happened? Was it weird? How can it (one day) not be weird, and then (the next day) be weird? hmm. Did brothers and sisters have to fight hard to not have feelings for each other "like that"? Or did they just decide that one of their cousins was way more attractive? hmm. It's on my list of "things to ask God about when I see him face to face." I know what you're thinking too - "That will SO not be on your mind at that moment!" Oh yeah?? Well, yes. You are probably right. Not in that first moment of being eye to eye with Him. But… I have all eternity and you can bet it WILL come up in conversation at some stage.
Yes. I know. I warned you… this blog is me. Allllll me. The good and bad, deep and shallow. "I am, I said… to no one there..." hahaha! Sorry… random Neil Diamond song just came flying through the grey matter. Hopefully you ARE there and will even choose to come back for more. That would be very cool.
Oh - and would LOVE to hear your thoughts about this particular topic. Have YOU ever thought about it??

I'm baaaaack!
Hey blog world! So I've made a decision. I am sending monthly newsletters out to those who are interested… mainly covering work stuff and whatever happens to be going on in that arena… but it's not the place where I can just talk about whatever is on my mind. I was thinking about some great blogs that I read often, and thought - yeah! I want to be doing more of that. They are all so real and honest and thought-provoking, and pretty much make my day whenever there's a new post, so thought I'd give it a whirl and see what comes of it.
I'm planning on just shooting from the hip on this one. It might make you uncomfortable - in a good way hopefully - but it's going to be real. There are things that I think we all need to think about… why we do what we do… and sometimes that means asking the hard questions. The ones that you fully would have gotten in trouble for if you dared ask in church or even sometimes at home. So how does that sound? Will you come with me on a little journey of thought-provoking drivel? It won't always be that deep… but it will be things I am pondering I guess, which honestly, are sometimes shallow and stupid. For example, I have spent a bit of time wondering when it became NOT okay to sleep with your brother…?? It WAS okay for a good long while - obviously. Stuff like that. (*example of the shallow, stupid things that wander through my mind unannounced at times.)
Whether or not you come back… I'll be here. :) I'd love to hear from you though - because dialog is way more important than just talking to myself. So if you have something to say - please feel free! The only way your comments will NOT get posted is if you are abusive. No one needs to hear that junk. Other than that though… I'd love to hear what you think!
The thing is… I don't know if you can even comment on here if you don't have a blog yourself - and that's lame. So if anyone has any suggestions as to how I can do this more effectively so more people can jump in on the discussion - let me know, k? Thanks!
OH! I just saw where you can subscribe so you get my updates on here straight to your email - now there's an idea! So give that a whirl if you want. Looking forward to some good processing… and hopefully won't lose any of my ministry supporters along the way! haha
Right now… I need to go do some work. Back atcha lata! Have a great day. x
