Morale +3
All say welcome to Lady Elizabeth, the newest member I know of the blogger world. She thinks she is the fire bird, and is starting off alright, so support the effort, or something like that.
The tired state kind of lasted longer than the weekend, and has survived through two sleeps so far. Eek. But it's all right, because it means I have to have at least one solid thought per day, right? There is the usual one about how the system under which the world runs is silly, but...I'd rather not say anything about something that could be better unless I knew what the could be better is. It's like rejecting the best idea put forward without supplying another one. A better one. Yup.
So I was thinking, and started wondering how much of Christianity is just feel good stuff. It has to build you up some. It is important to have a decent self esteem, and if the bible speaks truth, then it should speak on this if it is true. I don't actually know if it does though, I just reason that it must. Why? Well, in order to humble yourself, you lay down what you have to serve others. Or something like that. Even the people that you think you are better than. Now, if you thought you were nothing, could you be very humbled? But what then if some one or thing came and poured meaning and love and purpose into your life? Now you have something. And then that same person or thing asks you to lay down what it just gave you. You couldn't be very humbled without having something to lay down. So some of Christianity must be feel good, you are special and loved and such. But how much?
That's about the best thought I have had all day. If the trend keeps up, I might have one for you tomorrow. Unless the turbulence is just too much. Then I might just crash. Just try to keep up with the guy in the funny hat.

I've been trying to keep up with the guy in the hat for a while now. He's a tricky one to catch.
Hope your lack of sleep is going better than mine.
I don't know what that bit about the fourth is about there Phoenix, but I made a decent guess at who you were by the way you wrote that last bit. Looking at your profile certainly confirmed it. Rock on in the "Blogosphere".
Anyways...
Afterverner,
This post has gone and inspired me to go ahead and throw a piece I had started on my blog- Feel free to check it out. It's along the lines of Truth and finding out what's really real according to the Bible.
I like that question though, about feel good stuff... Worth looking into.
Word bro.
