i'm not one to get offended by bad language in movies. usually what offends me is blasphemy and uncalled for sex scenes and violence.
so why was i shocked when i heard several f-bombs drop today around campus while i was cleaning? hmmmm.

do you ever stop and look at yourself and think that perhaps your in a transitional time. i am there i think. first, i don't want to capitalize anymore. so i won't. sue me.
i have been through a lot of transitions this past year. starting school again, changing programs, finding a new church, meeting new people, etc. blah blah blah.
i am also transitioning with God(ok, still some capitalization). finally, i feel i am stepping beyond words into action, slowly though. and i am ok with that.
sometimes we want changes to be instanaeous, or they obviously weren't God's plan for our lives. that is bull.
we look for these quick fixes to everything and the biggest thing i have learned is quick fixes are nil. they offer fluff instead of real life change that comes with wrestling with God and raking our life with the Word, not the Word with our life. think about that.
and take a step of obedience, in faith. see what happens. quick fixes offer little truth and remaining stagnant is worse than dying.
it is in the transitions we find out what is real.
peace out,
hersch

DID I MISS CONFESSIONS PARTS 1 AND 2? OH, AND I'M ANTI-ANTI-CAPITALIZING. JUST KIDDING. GOOD STUFF
Hey Herschel, I think I'm back to the place where those words have shock-value again. Which is the way they are supposed to be.
The thing with "instantaneous" change--it IS bull. Every day of our lives is a page of writing built on yesterday's (and the day before's and...you get the point) story.
You MIGHT, on a good day, actually be able to undo what you did yesterday without much trouble and then rewrite today, but...just try to go back a week, even, and try to undo something you did--it's kind of like pulling a piece out of the middle of a Jenga tower, isn't it? You might get the piece out, but it destabilizes everything built on top of it.
The true Master Storyteller will work change in today's (and tomorrow's) storyline without destroying yesterday's pages...or even making anything sound implausible. But that kind of story has a twisting (and sometimes even plodding) plotline...it's certainly not instantaneous!
Here's to transition. It's a good friend of mine.
