(Returns after a very long absence, starting the blog-more-often New Year's resolution a little early ...)
Often you'll hear floating anecdotes about a church that split over what color to paint the baptistry, and it sounds so ridiculous. One can easily think, from safely outside the situation: That's stupid. And just as easily one can forget how heated such arguments can become even after originating from a very minor mistake. If you're in the argument, it makes much more sense to raise metaphorical Hell over whatever was said or done.
But then there's this, from a police report I read today. Even within the argument, it's just stupid. Human total depravity on display once again.
On Friday Dec. 19, 2008;at approximately 10:00am, victim reported that her live-in boyfriend struck her in the right knee/thigh after she refused to give him a cell phone. The altercation stemmed from the suspect buying the wrong type of cream for the victim coffee.
Meanwhile this year, more will be found here in terms of substance and of course, as much Deep Doctrinal Magic discussion as God gives me Grace — and time!
