There is something very tensious about family getting together sometimes. Now happens to be one of those times. Rarely is there a time when stress creeps into our family's get-together and who wouldn't like it that way?. Usually they are fun or just relaxing. But this Christmas is one of those moments that you don't live for.
I'm like a tea kettle. I don't like to make waves too much. I would rather hold it in. But the problem with holding it in is that ther comes a point when not letting some steam out can cause the tea kettle to blow its whistle. At those times, I can be irrational, even if I might have rational reasons for my feelings. It would be fine if it was just me. I would rather it just be me being irrational. But it is more than me that is frustrated. It seems like everyone is. Lots of miscommunication and lots of anxiety. Unfortunately, some circumstances have come up that put a damper on one family. But it only feels as though that only added to it. What was a terrible thing that happened to one family has caused frustration to many and not because of the happening.
Oh what vague thoughts. Its part of me being non-confrontational. And trying to figure out how to express myself and know what is okay to say. I certainly wish I would have started doing this a few weeks ago instead of saying things to someone in email.
Has this every happen to you? Have you been caught up into something you didn't like what one person was doing, but at the same time you don't want everyone to be mad either? Have you wished that you were the only one mad and knew you could break out of it?
I would love to be rationally irrational and then pick up the pieces and go on with life. But with multiple people involved, Its frustrating having the unknown.

Why so young?
I'm not quite sure why so many creationist have a hard time trying to view the possibility of the universe being billions of years old. Well, I have to admit, I used to. But for me, that day changed the first time I went to the mountains as an adult. I'm not sure, but I meditated on the mountains and how they appeared built. Was this a happenstance that they look like they do? If the whole earth was covered in water, would it have to cover the tops of all the mountains?
The drastic changes that would have taken place by biblical young earth terms would have been phenomally drastic on man and all the animals in a extremely, and I mean extremely short period of time. When you look at the shifts the mountains would have had to make to be under water and then afterwards to be above water, shooting into space quickly, the time lapse seems even more impossible. The ice melting then freezing then melting again enough to move man across the continents and keep them there seems rather ambitious. A 1000 year period is quite possible, but the speed of light that the Noah story is told by YEC would suprise anyone.
Everyone except to those who believe that God caused all things not to work in a systematic way. That is what a YECer would have to believe. A YECer would have to believe that any and all laws of nature are false and can not be proven. They would have to confess they can't even admit that their feet will keep them planted from gravity, even if nothing else in the universe changes. They would have to admit laws of the universe are just switches for God to turn off and on.
I don't believe that one bit. I believe the Bible to be the inspired word of God and true. I believe that interpreted correctly will make us realize that the Bible isn't a science text book for us to see what the Bible say and then make it fit science. The Bible is flexible enough to not be contextually in error when being understood with science.
Science is a friend of the good book. Let's not make science an enemy.

So this is a test. I'm not sure how good Google Doc's is. I thought this would be a good idea to try it out. See if it is a really good way to work my blogs.

I'm more than dusty
I'm trying to learn to say my thoughts. I'm really not sure what to say. I don't like saying much and feel I like creativity in my thinking. So I thought I would write to see if it would help me out.
I'm going to write about everything. My faith. Computers. Tech people. Podcasts. Music. Videography. Autocad. Anything and everything.
