scattered thoughts

So many things I'd like to write about... (i originally wrote "thing's." i blame my bad grammar on too much grading of munchkins' papers... [note the CORRECT apostrophe use; although i am in 4th grade for the 5th time, i did graduate a couple of times.] )

~ (When) is violence justified for Christians?
- loving enemies... can violence be loving?
- turning the other cheek... metaphorical. suffering dishonor.
~ Old Christians... heck. 30 something year old Christians
~ Friends make a Christian? a vibrant Christian?
~ reaching the younger gen.
~ controlling my anger!!!! better yet, defusing it to death.
~ Matisyahu needs Jesus and 2 of the saddest songs i've ever heard. ("silence" and "temple"?)
~ hiding old entries...
~ Christian temperance: pros and cons
pro: less drunkenness= probably some kids didn't get abused. less fights? less shame? less bad decisions?
con: Bread and wine central (?) to Scripture... rep God's providence. can be metaphorical, as long as we get the metaphor... God gives sustenance and joy. (Blessed is He.) Jesus is our bread and wine of a New Covenant (pact, agreement, relationship) with the Almighty.
~ Mormons mormons mormons mormons...
