Wow.
My mind has been working furtively and furiously and vehemently, ardently and passionately. Ideas and emotions and musings and frustrations flow in and out of each other, mixed and colandered, sifted, spread and kneaded and spread again.
Some highlights:
1. I don't need boys. I don't need 'em. I'm not willing to chase a guy. HEAR THAT?! I'm not going to pursue you! You elusive guy, you. I'm not going to sidestep my own God-given design to be the pursued, not the pursuer. I was born woman and that is my birthright to only run when I'm chased. So you can do whatever you want, just don't expect me to come after you or follow you around, especially when you won't commit any of yourself to me in return. Because I don't need you. I don't need you until you need me so bad that you'll pursue me, even unto humiliation if it comes to that. Even to the piercing of your ego, because my heart is expensive - as all rare things are. That's right. I'm self-confidant enough to declare the rarity of my own heart. I have qualities many young women don't even know are crucial to being an awesome future wife or present girlfriend. Want to know what they are? Dare to pursue me and find out.
2. Somewhat related, I'm terrible at picking up single non-believing guyfriends. I have this terrible habit of evangelizing. Each one is intrigued at first. Many declare that they were "thinking for quite some time that they should take their faith seriously and get back into church" but sadly many fail to follow through. So after the shiny has worn off my convictional charm they back off and back down. I just can't help myself. I try to just.. talk. But Jesus comes out. I wish I could meet more Christian guys.
3. Theology is more than a course in college. Understanding God is a lifestyle. How many people would save money if they would just skip Religion courses and go to some churches instead? They would at least get the information from the source instead of having it filtered through the right brain of some left winged pinko moonbat professor who wants to feel cool and spiritually elite teaching students about the hobgoblins of Christianity. They mask their dissatisfaction of life with richly textured explanations of how religion begat all wars and provided all poverty and plundered all people. Read your Bible. Learn the truth.
The end. For now.

Oh, and happy Fathers Day.
