Like pieces of the sun, our lives burn on and on and on.

I'm willing to shine on. ^_^

House of Heroes. Yet quite appropriate.

This past weekend, I spent my days over at my Cousins house. I learned...a lot. Too much to put down. But here are some of the tidbits.

1) God always answer's prayers. And He always answers them according to His will. However, what we think is the best option, is not always what truly is.

2) Sometimes, being with someone is enough. No actions are required. I didn't need to hang out at a theme park, or go to the movies to enjoy being with my cousins. On fact, some of the best time I remember was as I was going to sleep, chatting with "Jim".

3) The Lords prayer is amazing. But mindlessly repeating it was not what Jesus had in mind when He gave it to us. And He did give it to us. That prayer contains petitions for the past, present and future. Food, forgiveness. It's awesome.

4) I'm an idiot. I knew this already. But this weekend cemented it.

5) Sometimes, making something pariah intensifies the feelings surrounding it. Nebulous and vague...yet understandable, I think.

6) The heart is a problem in churches. Does the building cause the majority of problems? Nope. How about the Bible? Sorry. The problem is, as usual, you/me/us. The heart of a human...It's a dark place.

7) Despite what many modern theologists would say, a spiritual war is happening...and do we really consider all that means? In a war, you can get killed, maimed, wounded. The enemy doesn't give a rip how they win, as long as they win...diplomacy, savagery, stealth. Theses tactics come against us everyday. Not only that, but our actions, my actions, could cause the death of another.

I'm writing this down not only to share, but also to remember. Please drop your insights as to what I've learned. If you wish.
