omg - i have no idea where all of you went. :(
today is the bridal shower. i'm excited. it's hours away, but i've gotten through all of my computer stuff already, and it's not even 9:30. i think that i'm going to have some breakfast, take a shower, play the game, and flat-iron my hair. i really need to figure out something for it for the wedding.
okay, so 1 Timothy 1:4 says, 'nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.' (i used correct punctuation here - according to my bible.)
and Titus 3:9 says, 'But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless.'
why are genealogies singled out as something we shouldn't do? i mean, i know it's extremely time consuming - is that the reason? and traditionally you do get more questions than answers, but there are several times in the old testament (and one account in the new testament) where there are genealogies. so, why is it a bad thing? and is this a question i'm never going to get an answer to? probably...
stop and think about how amazing it is that something could exist from nothing, for all time, before time was even a concept. when i was a kid, i just pictured outter space - just an expanse of darkness - or stars - similar to something from quantum leap - every time he'd leap there was this colorful 'time tunnel' - but i guess i just pictured God travelling that way, but that in general, there was just space. i suppose that there were angels beforehand, based on some scripture from psalms - and obviously lucifer had already fallen when man was created, else, how would he have tempted eve? which of course begs the question - what did satan want to be in charge of then? just the angels? there weren't humans to torture... golly, where is all of this coming from? not sure.
recently i've become more reflective in my thoughts - and i guess it's just spilling over to God too. i think the magazine helps that out. again - i would love to send you guys this magazine - so if you're interested, please let me know.
i'm going to be married in 2 weeks! can you believe it? i know i can't. i just never thought this would happen...i'm glad it is though.
okay, that's all for now. i'm off to game.
loves!
