Various Thoughts on Various Things


BIRTHDAYS:
Today is Lucas' first birthday! Our hearts were filled with anxiety a year ago, but they are filled with joy today. In an amazing coincidence, today is also my mom's 60th birthday.


PARADOX OF RELIGIOUS SYSTEMS:
I want/need to be part of a system that assumes He exists (it sometimes feels hard to find Him without that). But, the danger is how much such systems assume about what He is like (it's too easy to lose track of what extras the system is requiring of me).


THOUGHT THAT GRABBED ME FROM "BLUE LIKE JAZZ":
I became the person I should be and not the person I am. Now I'm going back to get the person that I am and bring him to become the person I should be.


FUTURE FOR ME (& HOPEFULLY ALSO FOR MY COMMUNITY):
More focus on serving and loving people in need in the culture around me (some call it "social justice"). For me, wondering how a law degree can be used that way. For us, rediscovering the magic of the "Team Tangible" Era as a huge part of our future together.
