They certainly would be a much more interesting writing prompt for students, that's for sure.logankstewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12269634215857320344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19648568.post-47160830894845062532012-04-09T16:11:49.000-05:002012-04-09T16:11:49.000-05:00I like many things in this post.

I've long been of the opinion that all sin is derived from pride (or un-humbleness) and try my best to remain humble. Thanks for the words!<br /><br />@Mel: Heh, thanks, I guess. ;)logankstewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12269634215857320344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19648568.post-23298279857195873912012-04-06T20:09:10.288-05:002012-04-06T20:09:10.288-05:00At times, fragments are a great stylistic choice. ...At times, fragments are a great stylistic choice.

The beauty of God is that He is...My Dear e-Friend,<br /><br />The beauty of God is that He is not that way. His truth is not always our truth. My church has a total of 1 member - that's God's decision, not mine. I love fellowship. You are starting to learn that God's ways are not man's ways. We don't rock the boat for the rocking the boat's sake, we do what God calls us to do, which sometimes rocks the boat. The secret is hearing from God.<br /><br />I have a theory about extreme left or right brained people. The mathematician genius and the true artist both ride the cusp of madness, each on the extreme end of "normal." I'm sure you've read about their lives. I believe the secret to staying on the side of saneness is humility. The thread that runs throughout their lives, and eventual demise - pride. I'm not saying that's true of you - I don't know you. But, I'm suggesting that you ask God for the gift of humility in all areas. God gave you a tremendous talent, use it for His Glory, realizing that He entrusted you with it for a reason. Most extreme brainers start out with God, and then slowly they believe they are like God, like Bobby Fischer. Steven Hawkings has just decided there is no God. Read any biography of our brilliant writers or geniuses, very sad.<br /><br />I encourage you today to ask God how He wants you to use the gift HE gave you. Pray for humility in all things. These will keep you on the right side of the line, I promise.<br /><br />Bless you, your wife, and beautiful baby.Dizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13511838847684605268noreply@blogger.com
