Dancing... or drinking through life
I am not even sure that I know how to do a link anymore. I'm giving it a shot though so, three readers, please forgive me if I mess this up.
So Rod Dreher's sister is battling cancer. It is nasty. Their faith is extraordinary. Here's his latest post (I think)

Back...
I'm back here at JWalking after a bit of time because I just want someplace to record thoughts from time to time. I doubt that many of the thoughts will be political - there are plenty upon plenty of people offering their opinions on everything political and I doubt that I have much to add that will

Learning to tell a story
For the last ten months or so I've been engaged in a completely different world - the world of screenwriting. It began as a writing project - probably the 21st Century version of a yen to write the great American novel - a shot at a screenplay. I knew that I knew nothing about the art but was inspir

And just one more
I have, I think, just one more round of chemo left.
When I go through my pill popping regimen tomorrow morning it will be the last time for this particular round of drugs. Twenty-three rounds, it seems, is enough.
What comes next? We'll go back to what we did after the surgery. We'll watch and measu

I have to say that I agree – some people just like to ruin the fun for others.
Not that I’m not curious (because I am!!!!!), but I’ve found that, in Harry Potter as well as life, it’s the journey that you take to REACH those points of curiosity that make the whole thing worthwhile.
I’m willing to wait, no matter HOW bad I want to know the answer. *grin*

Great point. I think it also reflects our ongoing desire to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

I don’t see where god instructed Adam to not eat from the tree of life. From what I read in The ESV the only tree he was fordbidden to eat from was the tree of knowledge and evil. The Lord has, therefore, never denied us the opportunity to eat from the tree of life.

lol. i love it!, the way you linked your point about a person’s inclination for instant gratification to our ancient father.But then again, isn’t that the truth? the apple does not fall far from the tree!!. loved the last play on words from the prayer.

Adam and Eve were told by God not to eat the fruit off the tree.
They were commanded not to. They knew very well what was going to happen. Just wanted to know? They knew already.
Harry Potter spoilers? yes there are some people who just have to ruin it for others. And yes there are those people who will not spend the money to buy the book, although they could take it out free at there local library. But I can guarantee that their will be someone who does not ever return the book, some are just going to end up as they call it “Lost”. Forever.
But if a person really does not want to know who lives and dies, they will not get on the internet buy a newspaper or anything else to spoil the suprise. They will buy the book instead and read it.
