I just think it seems a little dishonest.

"...submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior." -Ephesians 5:21-23

the interpretation we had going, it sounds pretty good. I'm all about equality, and that is what you are reading into it. Sometimes, I agree, you should submit to your wife. I'm all about that. But I think it seems dishonest to call it biblical.
I notice, now, looking at the verse, that the verse after 22 seems to really drive home the sexism we are trying to distance ourselves from. 21 was the right choice to misdirect us on, to pull the sleight (submitting to one another). That one seems more equal, but not in the context.
I'm thinking I want to argue here, that by this chapter, equality doesn't seem biblical.


I feel weird saying that I think something is good, but not biblical. I feel like I've said something wicked, or that it's a paradox.

"why do you suppose that belief persists?"
"It's troubling. I guess because guys, people like me, haven't done our job."

quotes i'm not sure I agree with

"To truly become Christians we must also repent of the reasons we ever did anything right. Pharisees only repent of their sins, but Christians repent for the very roots of their righteousness, too. We must learn how to repent of the sun under all our other sins and under all our righteousness - the sin of seeking to be our own Saviour and Lord." -Tim Keller

"Just because someone tells you about Jesus doesn't mean they are 'shoving it down your throat' we just know there is a better life out there for you and care for you." - David S.

if i gave you 9 bucks would you waste an hour?

The last time I called in sick to work (not found someone to cover for me), was for a wedding. It was a longer shift; I think it might've been 8 hours. I felt kinda guilty, just skipping an entire shift like that. But the thought I kept having was, if someone offered me 72 dollars to just skip the wedding, there is no way I would do that. That's just ridiculous.

do I know you? or were you just dream?

I would take away your rock designed to kill more people more quickly.

i wobbled like mad

and skanked all night.

I imagine kids are riding home, to all around the nation feeling something powerful deep inside themselves.  encouraged. happy. other positive emotions.

I was called a hypocrite today. I guess that's cool. I felt at odds with so many booths. I wanted to antagonize them, but I just had a pain in my chest even being near them.

we met a kid named Isaac. I hope so much that he laughs. but his story nearly made me cry.
