Having stated truth I also ask questions that are more transitory and of a pithy nature. Having made the supreme choice, how many other choices do I have? Say for instance our friends, I can choose to try to spend time with some and I can choose to not spend time with others. Ultimately the choice of relationship building is a mutual one. A decision of afirmation made by both parties. One can choose individual constructive actions but their lasting merit is based on the validation by another. So beneath that retoric is a loaded question. How will you choose to respond to others? Will you choose to step beyond the shallow into that which is more meaningful? Or will you choose something else, to ignore… to isolate… to anathematize… The choice is ours to make.

Post Modernism. Truth or a semblence of trite cliches that would seem to be truth but lack real substance? I watched the Matrix Revolutions tonight and there was much said but left me wondering if there was underlying truth. It had themes from asian religions, western philosophy and Christianity. Love, karma, causality, free will, balance, were all addressed. However, while exploring these themes i’m not sure it was authoritative on any of them. This leads me to believe that it possessed a great deal of information but little real truth. The one statement of lasting merit was on the issue of free will…. because I chose too. As a Christian, to me, it boils down to that choice, the ablitiy to chose Jesus, not just once at an alter, but daily in life choices, relationships, thoughts, and speech. I chose Christ, that is my Truth.

What do you think? What should I think? How should I interprete the situation? Some people just seem to be able to read situations and people and have a knack for putting people at ease. I don’t. I care too much and caring early in a relationship turns people off. Why is that?

On the flip side, calculation and planning to not move fast doesn’t work either. People sense it, that turns people off too. Why is that?

I want to be full of life and the only way I know how to do it is to point the way to Jesus. Everything in me that is good is from God. However, I’m still learning the way, I’m making mistakes.
