| NewsWeek had a really interesting article a couple days ago that I'd like to share with you.
Our Mutual Joy Opponents of gay marriage often cite Scripture. But what the Bible teaches about love argues for the other side. by: Lisa Miller
http://www.newsweek.com/id/172653
"Let's try for a minute to take the religious conservatives at their word and define marriage as the Bible does. Shall we look to Abraham, the great patriarch, who slept with his servant when he discovered his beloved wife Sarah was infertile? Or to Jacob, who fathered children with four different women (two sisters and their servants)? Abraham, Jacob, David, Solomon and the kings of Judah and Israel—all these fathers and heroes were polygamists. The New Testament model of marriage is hardly better. Jesus himself was single and preached an indifference to earthly attachments—especially family. The apostle Paul (also single) regarded marriage as an act of last resort for those unable to contain their animal lust. "It is better to marry than to burn with passion," says the apostle, in one of the most lukewarm endorsements of a treasured institution ever uttered. Would any contemporary heterosexual married couple—who likely woke up on their wedding day harboring some optimistic and newfangled ideas about gender equality and romantic love—turn to the Bible as a how-to script? Of course not, yet the religious opponents of gay marriage would have it be so." | | |
| Hello Corpus Christi. I'll be around for awhile. Don't ask for how long because I rarely know for sure.

| Soooo. I've been wondering. Would it be appropriate for me to go to the Feast of Praise? Yeah, I'm in Corpus, I forgot to re-register so if I want to vote I have to do it in Nueces County. Anyways, I have been thinking about the possibility of looking for a very liberal Christian church in Dallas. Not that I've decided to become a Christian again but because I think being part of a community like that and pursuing spirituality is a natural human desire and could provide a lot of stability. So I'm considering going to the Feast of Praise tonight, and I know odds are that no one's going to call me out and accuse me of just being there for the food, but I think if someone started talking to me about Christianity it could get very awkward very fast.

| So I was sitting on the plane back to U.S. and reading some Augusten Burroughs which insipred me to flex my own creative writing muscles for a bit. "I remember when I was little my dad had gotten a fake arm that vibrated when you switched it on. Not a prosthetic but a novelty item. I used to sneak up on people and then lay it on their shoulder to freak them out like that scene from Jurassic Park. It was one of my early ways of being clever and getting attention. Just about a week ago while on the metro in Barcelona there was a cripple silently walking down the train, collecting alms. I had seen a few already; always missing legs. Sometimes one, sometimes two, sometimes a wheelchair, sometimes not. This one wasn't hopping and he wasn't rolling so he apparently still had all his lower extremeties. He also had one right arm that was twisted back at the right albow in the most unnatural way possible. It made his hand look that fake arm from my childhood. Infact I really wanted to reach out and touch it to see if has that same surreal sensation of touching an inanimate human hand. Ever sit crosslegged for long enough that your feet have no feelings of sensation whatsoever beyond the prickling? Well when that happens just give 'em a feel and be surprised how eerie it is. Or try pressing your hand against a friend's and then feel both sides of them at the same time. It should be relatively the same sensation." Yeah I really have no idea where that was going. Oh yeah, photos... The view from the balconey for a hotel room of Barcelona Park Guell, some of the architecture done Gaudi Us waiting to go parapenting That's all for now because I'm lazy. | | |
