Why?

Why do we sin? There are lots of answers for this question and most of them are correct. This is one answer from church today that makes perfect sense to me. We sin because we don’t think that it is that big of a deal. Sin that has immediate and physical consequences we can stay away from. But sin that we can convince ourselves that nothing happened, nobody got hurt, nobody saw, it didn’t stop anything important, those we can justify. But, take that same sin and place it in the middle of a mission trip, would you still do it? Would it stop something important from happening? ”When we sin nothing stops because we aren’t doing anything to stop.” Lance Hahn (probably a loose quote).
Another quote probably unrelated. (This one doesn’t deserve quotation marks, I know I don’t remember exactly). Christians are good at being radically in issues that don’t really matter (politics, the words we use, what movies we watch), but we aren’t that different when it comes to issues important to God (pride, anger, love). Why?
So You Think You Can Dance

I know I have talked about this show before, but I am a television junky. I know, I know, television is bad for me and I really should be sitting outside reading a book. But let’s be honest, television is awesome. Back to the point, So You Think You Can Dance started up a few weeks ago and I am really excited. Having not been given the gift of dance, I love watching people who have unbelievable control over their bodies movements do things that seem to defy physics and how are bodies are built to move. Couple that with sometimes amazing music and an amazing story line and you have something truly fantastic. I have learned that dance has the power to convey great emotion, whether it is sorrow and pain or whimsy and joy. So here’s to another season of So You Think You Can Dance. If you aren’t watching, you should be. If you aren’t into the drama, skip that and watch the dancing.
Project List
June 14, 20102:44 pm2 Comments
Since at this point I doubt anybody still reads this, this post is going to read a lot more like a to do list than anything else. I really like making things myself. For example, instead of buying a djembe stand, I made one. It was a lot cheaper and I was able to customize it to my liking. The only problem with “doing it yourself,” things take a lot longer than going out and buying one, even more for me because I can’t do anything that would be dangerous to a 19 month old when she is around (all the time). So here is my current list of things that I need to get done.
- Make pillow cases for couch pillows.
- Build toy box for Bella’s room.
- Make tambourine floor mount.
- Stain djembe stand.
- Make djembe strap for standing.
At the moment that is it. I am sure the list will grow as time goes on and I see more things that I want, but would rather not buy.
The Best Laid Plans

Tonight I had great plans. I was going to stop by a concert, say hello to some friends and watch their set. I was then going to go out and eat some pizza with another group of friends. This all makes me sound really awesome and that I have a lot of friends, quite the opposite is true. Having two things to do in one night is never a problem. These were my best laid plans.
Here’s what actually happened. I drove the 20 minutes to the location of the concert. I got out of my car and quickly realized the concert was not where I thought it was, so I checked Facebook and realized my fatal mistake. The concert was not here, I had misread the flyer. In fact, the concert was in a completely different town now about 30 minutes away. So with that out of the way, I went to pizza.
I’m going to say it was all for the better. Instead of being split between two groups, I was able to focus on where I was and have a great time.
