| | Your brain, like your muscles, atrophy without use or exercise and that's kinda where my brain is at now i guess. It's easier to hold my breath til my eyes pop out than to churn out a post.
There are a lot of thoughts in my head but they are not filed in any discernible manner. So as i pluck them out and try to arrange them in a way that's coherent even to me, i usually become frustrated that i have the vocabulary of a Peking duck and am thus unable to manage a decent post.
Either that, or i am quite sore and tired of offending people and have become a Safe Simon. Yes, i tell you what you want to hear - and that's not just limited to your wardrobe options; i will sugar coat any mischief that you've been up to as well. All is well because hey, who am i to judge right?
i've come to believe that it is entirely possible to live a life without any real connection. A community of the not-so-connected. And many, like me, have been pushed and shoved off the escalator to Connectedness because numero uno, we are not as charismatic as Tom Selleck (Plus his macho physique and mustache.), nor are we bad ass like the guys from KISS who really don't give a Pate about what's socially acceptable - Although what's socially acceptable nowadays is like asking, "Can i have fries with that?".
So as some of us feel like the world is changing faster than we can adapt, we shrink and crawl back into our own holes, cut ties to whatever remnant of a real community life we used to have and download enough 90's alt rock into our MP3 players to last a lifetime.
The world is changing and i'm not ready for it. And i've got a feeling that it's not something that i'd want to adapt to. That's not the issue.
Is there romance still? Morals? Boundaries? Holiness? Long suffering? Patience?
As a person, have i got the integrity to live an honest life? As a Christian, have i got the integrity in my worship?
This is not a rebuke, i haven't got the slightest clue. This is me, knowing that there is more to live for than to gratify my own needs. Change is difficult.
Change is necessary. Change is the difference between life and death. Change is what is required.
