Chillin' with my thoughts
I finally got to sleep in this morning. I have not had a full day off in 8 months, and it was everything I thought it would be. After a while, I could sleep no more, but as I drifted in and out of conscienceness, Rocco called. Note to self: Don't talk to him about anything deep or serious when you're still 1/2 asleep. I was pretty stubborn about some good advise he gave. I hope you understand, Rocco.
At any rate, I'm back at Starbucks right now catching up on some things that I've been wanting to do for work. Less like work and more like fun if you can imagine that. O.K. I'm studying stored procedures for DB2 - doesn't that sound exciting? To each his own I guess. It would probably be about as exciting as my listening to Rocco's tutoring session for choir. O.K. I think I'm still not quite awake and now I'm rambling.
Otherwise, I had a very nice weekend. I got to see some people and do some things. During all the driving I've done this weekend, I've had some time to think. I've been thinking about a lot of things, but mostly I still think about my place in this world. I'm starting to think about what I believe and the scriptures I use to back my beliefs. I'm not sure if I'm going to start a "series" or anything, but I think I might get some of these thoughts down here for comment. Some of the things I've been thinking of include (don't comment yet):
Is baptism required for salvation?
Once saved, always saved or can you loose your salvation?
What MY Bible says about remarriage
Mark 9:47 & Matt 5:29 & Matt 18:9 - Should we take the Bible seriously, or can we ignore the parts we don't like?
I can justify anything! (But that doesn't make it right). How I need to come to terms with some decisions I'd made, and how to "reverse" them if I can.
