sometimes i can be such a sarcastic little twit, and yet the irritation doesn't leave me even while identifying such flaws. i'll just apologize in advance if this hurts feelings. but i have to say this. i just don't understand why many christians often say, "praise the lord" or "thank you jesus" or "exalt his name" or "rejoicing in him" but ONLY when something goes our way. i mean, when something goes our way, that often means it didn't go someone elses.
i'm all for gratitude and such, don't get me wrong here. but what about praising god even when life sucks? what about rejoicing in him when there's nothing or no one else to rejoice in? how often do christians say, "praise god, my car broke down, i'm in deep debt, i didn't get the promotion, my child said his first swear word and i'm rather suicidal today." so often the bad is the devil and the good means we're blessed. what about blessed are the poor in spirit? blessed are those who suffer...and all those mystifying words from that hillside chat.
this wasn't supposed to be a rant, but it somewhat is.
however, of writing value, today i chose this word and it's variants: mystify, mystic, mystical. i just said each slowly and find them of delight. and for my jenna jane, how about some ambiguity, i always liked that word until we said it two hundred times yesterday. any words to add that just sound great? i sure have my list of despised words, but i despise them too much to write them here.
