A couple of confessions...


1. I love these candies. I know they are gross. I know that they are rotting my teeth out of my head. But I like them so much... I am not addicted - I only have one or two per day. And I don't know why I like them, but I do...



2. I do water aerobics every Tuesday and Thursday evening after work. Ammon and I go work out with the ladies at the pool. And you know what? I like it. I do! So many times I have been to the gym or whatever and I feel like I am part of some kind of fashion show or something. But not with these ladies. They don't care. They don't! They just think it's cool that I show up with my boy and do it. Yeah, I have no pride... But Ammon and I have fun. That's what it's all about, right?!?


3. This one might be close to an actual addiction. I love Dr. Pepper. I know it's not good for me. I know I shouldn't drink it (kidney stones, caffeine addictions and headaches, empty calories, etc). But I do. My wife won't let me have it, so if we're out together I don't get it. But when I am out with work folks or on my own, I will have it. I only have it with a meal - I don't go get the fountain drinks or the 20 oz. bottles or anything. But man, I sure enjoy it...

Whew! That felt cathartic. I hope you don't think too poorly of me now you know...

that was fun to read, it's nice to see a light hearted post out of you once in a while.

I still thing the gooey center strawberries are vile though.

Ephesus

Paul got around. Ephesus is right on the Aegean Sea, on the coast of present-day Turkey. Yesterday he was in Galatia, which was much more towards the middle of Turkey. And when he actually wrote these letters, he was in Rome... So the man could travel. He probably walked. Today's item of interest comes from chapter one in Ephesians. Verses 18 and 19 are particularly interesting: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power This is not the first time Paul talks about an inheritance. In Galatians he talks about the inheritance that comes of being part of the Abrahamic Covenant. He notes that we are joint-heirs through and with Christ. In Ephesians, he uses the word "adoption" - that we are adopted as the Children of Jesus Chris...

Engaged

Three Dog Night got it wrong.  One is not the loneliest number. They were more accurate when they said Two can be as bad as one.  I really wonder how people can survive Without being fully engaged. How they live through each day Without the intimacy I so very much crave... Maybe I am unusual in my desire  To have this intimacy, To want to feel that soul So close to my own Sharing light and warmth, Sharing love and passion, Sharing life. Alas! Alas! Alas! For when I do seek to share It is often only to be rebuffed Denied Or used up, Sucked dry, And left an empty husk.  I want SO MUCH to share And all I have is the cold, digital world Of typing out a blog.

The Other Art

I'm not sure we appreciate photography as much as we do other art forms. Part of this comes from the reality that surrounds and permeates a photograph - it's very, very real, and the photographer strives for clarity and crispness in the representations. Perhaps this is why black and white images continue to be relevant - they strip away extraneous information (color) and leave us with something that is at once familiar and also non-existent - for nothing exists in black and white. Nothing. I also think that pictures are becoming too common-place... Everyone has a camera in their pocket, and while that's a very democratic thing (everyone can express themselves in a picture easily and readily, and can find an audience for these images, which are casually taken and casually viewed, and perhaps just as casually forgotten) I think that we embrace that casual attitude, and it spills over to all aspects of the media, making it impotent. So I read this article this morning: h...
