Why do sitcoms try and make every single line that every single character says knee-slap funny?
Why do I hate American sitcoms? (oh...see question 1)
Why is there not another national sports network besides espn? (there's four major news networks, and NO alternative to hyped, conceited espn?)
Why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway?
Why do people in a huge hurry at the grocery store not even begin to take their checkbook out of their purse until after the checker says "that'll be $xx.xx"? (They should have the whole check written except for the amount, or else quit pretending they're so inconvenienced and rushed.)
Why do they call the main building at airports "terminal"?
Why do we want grace for ourselves and justice for others?
why does fart stink? wouldn't it be a glorious thing if farts were fragrant like air fresheners? we wouldn't have to spend money on those artificial smells. forget about yankee candles and glade. oh, but god had other plans...jobs...artisans...consumerism...giving back to the needy...wait a minute...why do we keep the best for ourselves and only give away what's left...why are we so selfish? or am i the only selfish witch? why did mother theresa love and osama hate? "why do we want grace for ourselves and justice for others?" why are we in such a rush? where are we trying to get to, when life is already short? why are we asking why when we've heard of the fall of mankind at the garden, when women must weep and men must work until we become decrepit and die? and why is there dust in the air? what's the use of dusting? is it to remind us that from dust we were formed and to dust our feeble and finite bodies return? why is our life so futile in that way? and yet we celebrate every life that is born? or do we? then why are there so much abandoned children? why have we become irresponsible adults? but we were once children too...did we each have an angel to watch over us, as written in the book of psalms? then why is there so much hurt? why so much hardness? apathy? why is christmas still celebrated, even if vainly, and easter looked forward to? what would we look forward to if we did away with these? and why do we long for things bigger than life, it's pervasive in the stories we tell. why do we long to be longed? to be significant? to be loved? is it because we were meant to be loved when we were created? is the reason why christ came to show us that we are loved? but how do we benefit from something we do not believe, much less accept? isn't it like a parent having his home always open for the return of his child who ran away, but the child is unaware of the parent's unending love until he returns home to actually see that he's always accepted and that he doesn't have to run away...? but how is a parentless one to relate to a display of affection as that, if the person never experienced having a parent, much less being loved? why do most churches and their people paint a really scary picture of god, when jesus said he is meek and lowly, and when he said he will not loose any of his. i will stop asking why for now and just rest in his love. in the love of a resolute god who affirmed that he will not loose any and tenderly offers rest for the weary. why do i believe him? because i sought and sought and he answered. he explained what he did and did what he said. he said he won't chase away anyone who comes to him. and he will answer whoever asks, knocks, and seeks the truth. he said he's the truth, the way, and the life. he said if you've seen him, you've seen the father because they're one. i don't read the bible much. but the truths that i've learned from him i can't unlearn, even if i force myself to. he said his sheep know his voice. i've heard a lot of other voices twisting his message. but the firm, assuring voice of god drowns them out. not because i've come home with good grades, like i did in my childhood, but because he loves. why do i feel like erasing everything i've written now? but i'm too sleepy. so, my thoughts remain here.
why do people think building themselves up by tearing others down accomplishes one single thing?
why don't people realize cutting remarks made in jest are not one hundred percent jest, and do at least some bad?
why don't people realize Jesus doesn't show people up nor demean them, and following in His footsteps is not real cool when we do so? And why don't people realize this is not "cute"?
And why do some Followers cheapen the blood by "excusing" their demeaning behavior?
And why do so many Followers think they need to "take a stand" about something pretty much all the time?
Why don't we consider Jesus more, who had more claim to exercise authority than any of our sorry asses? And yet never did...
why does poop begin coming out when u walk in the front door and you've been able to hold it in for the entire ride home? This blog reminds me of Tribe Called Quest's "What?"

I love Target!!! I think I related to almost everything you said. I wish we knew you when we lived in Jersey. It can be a very lonely place to be a Christian.
