Notes.

Dear Persons who saran wrapped my car:
I missed it because I am in Maui. Ha.Ha.Ha.


Maui has been cool. It is sunny here and there is an ocean.

Apparently there is going to be a hurricane. yay.

If you have a dog and you treat it like it is a person (buying a doggie stroller etc.), you should either have a baby or have another baby. Oh, and you're weird.

I am under the impression that the environment that I live in is worth taking care of. If Rob Bell's position on green-ness pisses you off, I don't want to listen to you whine about abortion or gay marriage policies in relation to Christianity either. More later if I feel like it...

Lately I've been learning a lot about a lot of things. More later if I feel like it...

(I am actually in a very good mood right now, even though it might not seem that way... :) )

It worked. :)

...Trust.

My Dad, the smartest person ever, told me once that it is not doubt that is the opposite of faith, but certitude. In other words, if unwavering confidence exists, there is no need to "trust," and trust is therefore not only rendered obsolete, but the situation of absolute certainty does not even allow for faith to exist...

Trust, like faith, is an exceedingly abstract concept. It is an idea that can not be easily defined...

I'll explain.
The definition of "trust" offered by dictionary.com is "reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence."

Everyone trusts. I trust that when I get out of the car, I will not fall through the crust of the earth but that my feet will instead land securly on some form of concrete. I trust that when I wake up in the morning and walk down the stairs my family will not be waiting for me with a bazooka to blow my head off. I trust that my integerous (yes. it's a word. I say so.) friend will choose not to stab me in the back.

This type of trust is based off of a level of certitude, though, and therefore does not seem strikingly valuable. I trust my sister to not smother me in the middle of the night. Still, that says very little about our relationship or about the person she is or about the person that I am. Nothing is at stake.

When someone says, "Do you trust me?" (in an open-ended fashion as opposed to in refrence to a specific situation) what does he or she mean? What could he or she want? There has to be more. Where is it?

comment thoughtfully, please...

Hey Everyone.....you can read my blog without being tainted. yay.

Paul.

I've been reading 1 Corinthians during the last couple days.
I tensed up at least once in every single chapter.
I think I decided that I don't like it.
I like the other stuff the guy has written, but based only on Corinthians, I don't think Paul would have been my best friend.

At least I'm being honest....

People.

I'm not very good at people. Spending extended periods of time with other humans has made me realize this.

I snapped today.

Feeling strong emotions of anger (hatred?) toward people is actually pretty scary. I guess I underestimate myself...

I wonder how I'm ever going to get along...
