at least a "try"
so, about peter. i used to think that guy was such an IDIOT!! then i came around and realized, yes he was an idiot, and i am strikingly like that man. today when i was trying out my "art" at church my mind was flooded by the questions again.. "does this glorify God?" "does Jesus approve?" "is this really beneficial for the body or may i alienate and hurt members that i don't want to hurt?" all sorts of things.. and see, trying to live the Jesus life is like this, i think. it is that *not knowing* that is a big characteristic difference between that and living just a "christian life" where you are always trying to fit into social norms. (following that, i think i would take down my "art"..) but yeah, so i got to thinking about peter again. and man, that guy was hit and miss. but see, that's actually the cool thing about him.. at least he was "try".. rather than brain freeze... he took chances, tried to live the Jesus life, messed up, was corrected, tried again... and he received forgiveness, encouragement, second chances.. even a Call.
people have said i think too much. i don't think thinking is all that bad, but it get's overrated when there is no action. when i use it as an excuse to keep me from taking a stand or just hopping off the fence to "try".. perhaps try leads to fail, but don't i fail when i don't move at all?
