Quote of the Day

Well...

The last entry was something that we did at our Kinship group. It was really neat. During worship you have to pick two words that would best describe where you were at. Then you'd also come up with a picture to best describe those two words. For example joy may mean one thing to you and a totally different thing to me.

This was sort of an excersise not only in creativity, but also in communication. It's really cool because for the longest time I have felt that way, but when I try to articulate it I never felt like I was heard. Last wednesday I finally felt like I was heard. That is way more important then I thought... knowing what you are saying is getting them same meaning in someone's head that it is in yours.

Maybe I will do that from now on. When someone asks me how I am (because it's the social norm to ask that and not expect a honest response) I will tell them how I feel in two words and give them a quick illustration. I'm sure people will start to think I am insane. Oh wait... they already do.

One thing that I simply must share with you was the quote of the day from our last kinship night. We're a different group and generally can switch from being ultra serious to ultra crazy in about 0.32 seconds and then back again. One guy was saying how his hero in the Bible was Joseph and if he could choose to be anyone in the Bible that's the guy he would be. Then Doug pipped up and said, "If I could be anyone in the Bible, I'd be God!"

Works for me!
