Parties, Ketchup, Craziness, Burdens, and Laws
Four things, quickly.
The thing about this Constitution party is that they're really big into God. Their slogan is something like God. Family. Country. Sounds good. They're for limited government. Sounds good. But then they're for getting rid of pornography and gambling. That doesn't quite equate with me. "Let's limit government, give the people freedom, except in areas we deem immoral." Ok, so they're immoral. You better outlaw adultery, fornication, and cussing too. But then, the Bible says the government is to punish the evil doer. A pornographer is an evildoer; so is a cusser.
I can't believe someone would do this to me, be so thoughtless. And his girlfriend's around, which means he should be super-extra thoughtful. But no, he goes and takes the only bottle of ketchup we have in this entire house to work! Can you imagine? For the last two days, I've been reduced to preparing the "meat" of my lunch at home and taking it to work so I can consume it satisfactorily (with ketchup). What? Can you think of any good lunches that can't be made great by adding ketchup? I can't hardly. Ok, maybe a real good soup.
I've got to stop this working craziness. Notice the time I've been posting lately. I've been getting off work really late, putting in 11, 12, 13 hour days, and that's splitting between OSU and the pellet mill. The deal was--at the beginning of the summer--40 at OSU, 20 at the mill. That's been turned on its head lately, it seems I've had very little time outside of work. I know it's temporary, which is a solace. The sooner it becomes unreality the better, though I see dad's need to get hours in. We're way behind.
"Bear ye one anothers burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ." Haven't figured out how bearing someone's burdens connects to the law of Christ. Dude, I don't even know what the law of Christ is. Grace, maybe. If that's true, I can sort of see a connection. The law of Christ. Maybe it's the fruits of our Christian living. I'm going to read Galations again, I'm guessing I can get some clues as to what "the law of Christ" is there.
No proofreading.

You should research the Constitution Party's feelings about the Confederate flag.

Yea, one thing I've wondered about is modern evangelicals pushing so hard for laws against homosexuality when a lot of them have ruined marriage already by their rampant adultery in the modern church. Don't get me wrong....I totally think homosexuality is wrong but I also think adultery is. In the Bible homosexuality and adultery are on the same level. Anyways... -Marcel
Too true, Marcel.... Why, oh why, do we reject light and choose darkness? I think what grieves me most is pondering how much it all grieves the heart of the Eternal Lover.

By, you should try eating lunch without ketchup once. You might like it! Try using Ranch instead!
Lauren
I'm picturing Ranch on peanut-butter and jelly.
Ag
Ickkkk, blekhhhhhh!
This reminds me of a memorable lunch I had with my cousin Myron. Plain old hot dogs were just not exciting enough, so I suggest all manner of devious fixings. He settled on hotdog with peanut butter and jelly. It was an amazing proceedure: visually and aurally. And I rejoiced it was HIS lunch, not mine :-)
Okay, now THAT is disgusting. People eat weird things. My sister, when she was MUCH younger, used to eat mayo and jelly sandwiches. My mom thought is was so gross she couldn't even make them for her, so my dad always did.
Ag
My Dad is a good man. He always cleaned up our barf too, but I don't think you wanted to know that.
Ag
