What's on your mind? (63)

I've always thought that conservative Christian or liberal Christian was a bit of a misnomer, but I would definitely lie on the conservative side of the spectrum (from a moral perspective, at least).

I'd probably be considered politically conservative as well, but politics as of late is of little to no interest to me just because the two sides seem to have become too extreme. And I think politics infiltrating the church has been damaging, IMO.

I think the term conservative is a bit of a misnomer

I think "orthodox" and "unorthodox" would be better terms, to stop any confusion with politics

I think champagne cake tastes kind of like a donut. Also, I feel a little sick now that I ate it.

Yeah I agree, using the same terms which are also used in politics seems to cause a lot of confusion. I think there's a lot of people who don't even separate the two (political stance vs. moral stance).

Finished the calendars and forgot to send them off. That was dumb.

Sick or tipsy

 

[Bumble Bee]

Not tipsy just... fat. and sick. I wasn't feeling well to begin with, which is why I skipped dinner. It was too sweet.

I've been so busy with work/school this week. I'm extremely relieved the end of tomorrow will begin my weekend.

 

[Bumble Bee]

I am expecting 3 kids to for sure be absent tomorrow, 2 are a gamble. I will have anywhere from 11-13 kids tomorrow.

Kate & Williams the duke and duchess of Cambridge are in Australia. They are all over the news and massive crowds gather wherever they go just to see and take pictures of them.
I wonder if all this is idolatry.. It's feels like idolatry to me.

I feel the same way about the idolatry thing.
Tax money abused.

Krewella is so much fun to listen too.

Ah, yeah I can't handle sweet things either. More of a savory person myself.

Honestly, things were a lot worse with churches and political sides in bed with each other 10-15 years ago in the US. There's still more interplay than there should be, but it seems like it's better than it was then. It drove me nuts back then because I was a bit farther left than I am now and I was pretty much Satan incarnate for having supported a few Democrats.

I didn't notice it so much before 9/11 (I had just become a Christian in 2000), but afterwards I did. War has a way of complicating things, I guess. I do feel like the Churches I've been to recently are much different, and it isn't so prevalent.

The political arena seems like a different matter, however, and I think the polarization it caused is still affecting us today. And it doesn't help that the media feeds it as well. Whatever they can do to get ratings, I guess.

Fast day.

No one ever cooks bacon, I never so much as smell it. Today everyone and their dog is cooking bacon, the air is full of bacon fat smell. Perhaps if I go for a walk I'll escape the smell of bacon. It makes me feel sick, especially on a fast day. I think the empty stomach combined with salty bacon fat scent makes for a queasy feeling.

how we can feel the prayers of the saints lifting us up before God when the presence of the Lord suddenly draws near to us. likewise, how we can feel the hurt and poking of those who bite and devour us before one another and in their hearts.
