The Ups:
( Real Live Preacher knocks it out of the park again: If we Christians were honest, we would admit that we do not abide by all the commandments of scripture ourselves. I don't mean that we try and fail. I mean we deliberately choose to ignore scriptures that are not convenient for our lifestyles. As I pointed out in my post yesterday, the amount of scripture that is ignored, scorned, and abused by modern Christians is incredible. This blatant disregard for scripture never seems to bother church people when the issues at hand have to do with their own sins. But suddenly, when the subject of homosexuality comes up, everyone becomes a biblical literalist. The hypocrisy of this is appalling. )
The downs:
Last night I had a supreme DUH! moment. I'm depressed. When I went to bed at 8:30 for the 6th night feeling like I might cry on principle, it was kind of a clue.
I don't have the signs of true medical depression (BTDT), so I'm figuring this is more of a "My February has sucked like a hoover (Have I mentioned that I still don't know about the job? And that I was too fat to wedge into a formerly loose costume for the feast? And money is tight at the moment?) and something went *snap*" depression.
Unfortunately, this puts the onus back on me to dig myself back out.
The week has its own sets of tasks and duties (and early bedtimes, if I continue to feel this way.) It's Saturday I'm trying to figure out. No particular option looks better than the other because of course they all seem flat, uninteresting, and too much effort. The house is a MESS and I've got some serious decluttering to do in order to not be stumbling over piles. Or I could try to get into the SiC meeting; I might see some friends and SIC itself was once very important to me although fate has managed to make sure I only made one meeting. And then again, the Bollywood club is going to see a free movie, which is sheer (frugal) frivolity and I would also see some friends.
So, another one of those "I'm probably not going to follow the actual vote, but I know what I'm thinking better when I'm reacting to reactions" polls:
[Poll #681765]
