I am a duck in a pond...

Amendment to "Dependable? or PUSHOVER?"
Let me just clarify that when that seed of doubt was planted in my head about whether or not my friends asked me for favors because I was a pushover or just because I was very reliable, I didn't mean that my friends WOULD take advantage of me like that. Like I said, it was just a small seed of doubt, and was quickly erradicated... Just one of those random thoughts that pass through in a course of a long day at work...

Hitting Home
Last night I was listening to a lecture during our weekly bible study, the speaker, Dr. John Mark Reynolds, of the Bible Institute Of Los Angeles (aka BIOLA) said something that really hit home, that we are embracing a culture of Death. Mind you, he used this in reference to the impending doom of Christianity because we as a people are not being proactive enough about it, but I also think that what he said impacts society as a whole, christian or not. He gave an example of how his wife, for children, and he walked into a restaurant and was looked at like they were freaks. Four children? People now think that is too many...personally, I do not, but that is the general consensus. This is leading to smaller families and smaller families...it's just crazy, to think that because of how things have progressed, we are having less and less children. I just wonder what it'll be like another 50 or so years from now...

Risky Business...
You know what's so whacked when you're interested in someone and you guys are still just "hanging out?" It's the fact that everything you do is "risky business." There's that whole thing when neither party wants to seem to eager, or if you text message her or leave a message, you freak out until you get a response...sheesh, that sucks...can't I just bypass that whole weirdness part and call whenever w/o worrying? Guess not, you have to go through each step... Well, here's to hoping I get to the next step!!!
