Faith vs Feeling

It was probably during my first year of college that I realized that feelings are very important to me. When I’m done with the rational/theological analyses and I still have two options, I’ll go with the one that feels right. But what happens when the feeling comes before you’ve had time to analyse? I’d need …

My friend has this book titled, “Please Understand Me II: Temperament, Character, Intelligence” by David Keirsey. There’s a test in there to ascertain which of the 16 temperaments or hybrids thereof you fall into.

About Women…

Read this tonight and it resonated: A good woman is the best thing this side of heaven; a bad woman is the worst thing this side of the pit. A woman touches the limit both ways; she rises higher, and falls lower than man. The most degraded human being on earth today is a woman; …

grab the rope

I’ve been noting this phobia of works in the circles I frequent. You know how nothing we can do could ever earn us salvation, so there’s no point in trying to work your way to heaven…Well, I’ve been hearing those sentiments come dangerously close to, “do nothing.” But to be saved, you do have to …

It is reported that there were no civilian deaths or injuries incurred during the Western air strikes on Libya this weekend. According to the BBC News online, “the military was striving to avoid civilian casualties.” Isn’t it crazy how what you’re wearing on a particular day can make the difference between whether it is deemed …
