The World thru Others Eyes

Lately I have been thinking that people must see the world differently. I know that that is not very profound, but is a reality that has just hit me. I mean when I look at the world I see something totally different than what you see. People place there motives and values on other people and it amazes me. Competitive people think the world is one big competition and the only way to get people motivated is to say, "hey, look someone is beating you. You better hurry and catch up!!"

This is why I think that any type of love is a good thing (okay not any, but most). Because even though I may not agree with every part of what they do they still teach about a loving God. And He is the one who touches people's lives.


Imagine if you could take the time to actually see what they see. The world through so many different biases.

I just think it would be a very eye opening experience to see the world through your eyes.

Oh yeah, I still don't know what I wanna be when I grow up.

Causing others to stumble

So I was just reading about the idea of sin on myfourwalls and looking through the comments and one of them got me to thinking.

The comment was essentially along the lines of drinking is not a sin, but when you add Paul's insight of do not cause others to stumble, the commenter deduced that you shouldn't drink alcohol in front of those that do think it is a sin. This is where I see the problem. It just seems to me that if we continue to support bad theology we can never expect change in others. I just think that it is perpetuating legalistic tendencies.

Any thoughts??

Jesus's asking people not to tell

I just started reading back through Matthew and I keep coming across Jesus healing people and then in the same breathe telling that person to not tell anyone. He does this on several occasions. After healing the blind, cast out the demons, lots of examples. But for what reason? I don't understand why. Not that I would expect him to say "Go and tell everyone it was me!". But why the tell no one?

PostSecret.com

This is one of the coolest websites around. It gives people an outlet to express themselves in ways they could never tell a person. Essentially they scan post cards that people send them. They have all different types. Some are happy while others talk about suicide. When you have time drop by their site it is definetly worth your time.
