I wasn't at my best last night. I ended up getting drunk and feeling sorry for myself. I have gone into this malaise lately and cannot seem to climb out of it.
The weather hasn't helped either today it was really cold again. The temperature didn't get above 9 degrees. I am going to finish this blog, write an email to Zhe, do some housework- the dishes and a bit of ironing and then go to bed. It's the only place that is warm. I'll watch some TV then read a book for a bit before I turn the light out. There are some times when I like going to bed early. This, I think will be one of them.
So what is going on in the world. Here, we've got politicians interfering in the justice system. In Japan we've had a earthquake that's killed 9 people, injured hundreds and driven thousands from their homes, more bombs have gone off in Iraq and a Turkish politician has been shot dead. Wonderful!
My Bible verse of the day is from Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God .
I wonder what God thinks of his children.
I remember listening to Encounter on Radio National and they had a lecture by the Anglican Bishop Tom Wright of Durham, England. He was speaking about doubt and I think it was one of the best talks on religion that I have ever heard. There are sometimes when I strongly believe in God but there are other times when I have my doubts.
My God is a He and a She whose power is so far above ours that it can't be calculated. Can you imagine how powerful the creator of the universe must be? I'm not a creationist who thinks that Genesis is the absolute truth. I think that Genesis is the same as other religion's creation myths. However,mostly I do believe in God.
And my Jesus is the son of God, he's a great teacher, but I also imagine him as someone you can go down the pub with, or watch the footy with.
Anyway, enough of this. I'll end it here tonight.
