Yesterday I noticed two homeless guys walking together downtown. Nothing unusual, just a couple of grubby, horribly dejected-looking souls.
Then, one of them slung his arm around the other, as if to say, "I'm glad we're friends." They both smiled.
I nearly burst into tears.
I hate online quizzes. "Derh, which member of the Brady Bunch are you?" They're usually meaningless, subjective time-wasters. Every so often, though, someone like Danny finds an interesting one.
Had to give a big, fat shrug to most of the questions, but this one actually seemed to spend a bit of time, thought and research.
As a Christian, what's my theological worldview?
As it happens...
Talked to Dad today to wish him a happy Father's Day and ended up having a mini-debate on political correctness. Is it necessary? How far is too far? Personally, I don't particularly give a damn one way or the other, but I try to be sensitive to who I happen to be with at the time. If I can avoid alienation, why wouldn't I?
I'll admit I'm baffled by folks that are threatened by the idea of saying "African American". What exactly is the problem? Are they so invested in the term "black" that nothing else'll do?
(Dad's response: "Black people would rather be called 'black' anyhow. Besides, 'African American' isn't even accurate half the time. How do you know they're African?")
Accurate? If we're going for literal accuracy here, I'm not sure "black" is the term we want to land on.
"Pride, Dad! It's your own pride that's the problem!"
He graciously changed the subject.
(Take a note, dear readers, this is how a jackass wishes his father a happy Father's Day.)
Back to the comic. Gotta work, gotta work, gotta work.

As it happens...
 | You scored as Evangelical Holiness/Wesleyan. You are an evangelical in the Wesleyan tradition. You believe that God's grace enables you to choose to believe in him, even though you yourself are totally depraved. The gift of the Holy Spirit gives you assurance of your salvation, and he also enables you to live the life of obedience to which God has called us. You are influenced heavly by John Wesley and the Methodists.
