Memory

Why do people remember the things that they do? Why do some people remember more than others? If you could choose to retain more information, would you? Would you want to remember everything?

Maturity

I witnessed a keg stand while passing through a tailgate at the football game this weekend. Over my shoulder I heard someone say, "That guy has kids!" Apparently, maturity, responsibility and age are all very different things.

Entitlement

There's plenty to be said about this topic and the trouble it causes, but I've been confronted by overwhelming doses of it from a particular group of users at work. I would categorize it as a "How dare you tell me to..." approach to policy. People have rights, and beyond that priveleges, but some feel that their right to demand extends beyond this into areas of other's responsibilities.

The least of these

Who are the poor? More specifically, who are the poor that Jesus has commanded me to reach out to and help? Scripture seems to take my resposibility to them very seriously and expects me to do the same, but where do I start?

Growing Up

There are times when I wonder how much it matters that there are certain parts of me that have yet to be stretched and grown by the duties of marriage and parenting. Then other times I stop wondering because I recognize that I'm being grown and stretched by independence in ways that married people can't be. Both are good; both are tough.
