What a glorious surprise I had when upon arriving to work, my gracious uncle offered me the day off, due to a slow down of work this upcoming week. I happily agreed and proceeded back home into my nice comfy bed. Sleeping an additional 2 hours, I arose at 10:30 a.m. with nothing to do. What a glorious feelig, the feeling of nothing to do. I proceeded to do some cleaning for my mom. We have the fort nox of food cabinets in the garage so I cleaned a good chunk of cabenits, taking all the food out, cleaning and putting back. Teediously this got boring after the forth cabinet. I took the remaining afternoon to watch tv, mail postcards to some of you alberta friends, and drive to get lunch. How fantastic is it to do nothing. Yesterday I had a incredable time making home made sushi at my brothers, with my cousin Justin and brother and sister in law. My engagement party is this saturday.
On a different note. I have been overcome by just a feeling of devestation at the upcoming pride week. The lack of morals devestating and penetrating our culture and even some churches is heart breaking. The shifting morals of biblical truths and commands is devestating even among fellow Christians. Exceptions to Gods commands are being made within fiath based circles and the idea of tollerances is being transformed into unconditional acceptance. The acceptance that comes from allowing biblical foundations to slide. Yes it is vital we unconditionally accept people into the Christian churches, but we ought not to unconditionally accept every concept, idea, thought, lifestyle, or sin that subsequently knocks on our church. I hope one can understand this idea I am trying to get accross. The idea of accepting the sinner and rejecting the sin. The beauty of Christ is that He meets us where we are in our sin, but having a tangible relationship forces us to leave the sin behind as we walk the road of faith.
I hope my thoughts and ideas are not completely out to lunch.
Simon Out!

I totally get what you mean about the accepting the sinner and not the sin...sometimes its easier to either reject them completely, or even accept them entirely...it is about time we find the balance that allows us to show love and acceptance to people, while not accepting the sin they want us to pretend isnt ther...i dont even know if I am making sense...lol
