Well, I haven’t written anything of any import in a while, so I guess I will update you all on my life (mainly because I have nothing else to say). I’ve been working a lot. Technically I’m still working temp, but full time. Haha, this job was supposed to be for two days when I first got it… two weeks later I’m still working. The job isn’t that great: I fetch hats. That’s right, I get a list of hats, and I walk around a large warehouse getting all the hats on that list. When I get them all, I put them in a box, and get another list. Rinse and repeat. Haha, all the other people who work there are word of faith Christians (honestly). They blare bad worship music and heretical preachers all day. I feel sad for them and me. Me, because I have to listen to the crap all day, and them, because one day their going to realist that their 40 years old and working for a medial hourly wage, despite all that faith. One lady (she is the manager, and seems to mentor the rest), she tells me that she was healed of diabetes a year ago. Fairly incredible, actually. Haha, today she told me she was going to give me a vcd that I would love if I truly loved Jesus. I wasn’t sure whether to be terribly offended, or terribly thankful. After all, a fool proof test of salvation like that could be invaluable so that we could no who we should exclude from our lives as a bad influence. Either way I’m getting a CD. I can only imagine it will be someone preaching about prosperity… Maybe she won’t hold it against me if I break it.

Well, I was feeling in the mood to copy Missina, so I changes all you're names in the comments to the real ones. But then I though, there is no way thats enough. Then it hit me, my e-mail! So, from now on, I will be aron.jones at (spelt so that bots can't figure it out, I have to keep this one spam free, you know) gmail.com. Goodbye 20 spam e-mails an hour, hello 1 Gig or storage space.

The day gets closer.

Haha, check it out.

Pressured canisters discharge all around me, as I feel the splatter of a close call. I fall to the ground, and wait… it stops. I see a man aiming to burgle some gold about 100 feet ahead of me through the  trees of this forested area. Slowly: one precise step at a time, I move up to him; never letting him know I’m coming. When I get within 10 feet of the man, I can hear his breath; I know I’m close enough. Slowly, very slowly, I raise the barrel of my gun to the line of my sight.

I propose this question to everyone who keeps a xanga. What is your favourite post? What post means the most to you; shows something crucial in your journey; displays with perfect accuracy what you were feeling when you wrote it; relays some truth that may serve one day to change a man's life?

I would encourage all who read this to try and think of one, as difficult as it might seem. Comment with a link to it. If I get some responses I will share my own, or what it seems to be it right now.

ps. Don't be frightened by my request, I'm not demanding perfection here, it just sounded nice to write it like I was... I would rather you respond then not, even if you're not convinced you have one.

I worked today, and it seems I might be working for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it felt good, as crazy as that may sound. If you get the chance, listen to longview, by Green Day. It basicly sums up the last week of my life. My family was gone, and I didn't leave the house at all. For Canada Day, I watched a Start Trek: The Next Generation marathon. As much as I do enjoy that fine television program, 24 hours of it, making food only durring the comercials, somehow seems to be overdoing it. Man... what do they call it? Sloth, thats it. Haha, man, I need to get a new hobbie.

An interesting read. As well an interesting anti-moore article. Read the first one or two before the moore one though, it puts it into context.

Ahh, the trinity. You know, I've always had a rather unfortunate view of the trinity. For me, God is very logical. He is the perfect being that sets up our logic, he makes sense in every way. This perception has served me well, always enforcing my faith. The trinity is something I never quite got though. Don't get me wrong, I've always believed God to be three persons: at first because everyone else did, and after because scripture dictates it. But putting scripture aside, I could never understand it, it never really made sense. People call it the 'mystery' of God, the Roman Catholic Church even looks at that mysterious aspect of it as a positive; I've always wondered though.

I think the idea that's running through my mind now began a couple weeks ago, while reading Mere Christianity. This morning at church it was becoming clearer. It all pivots on this: love is the highest virtue. This doesn't really need to be defended much, it is clear in scripture (the ancients called it charity). Secondly, God's perfection does not depend upon his creation. If God had never created an intelligent being (as ridiculous as that is to say) he would still be perfect.

What this all means is that God himself must be comprised of more then one person, so that his love can exist apart from creation: so he can be perfect. A singular God would be imperfect. It's quite an amazing revelation for me.

This is where Lewis comes in. What got me thinking about all this in the first place was his (or probably someone else’s) view of the persons of the trinity. He said that the father beget the son, and that the perfect loving relationship between the two took on a personality itself: being the spirit. So, the virtue of love is exemplified in God by the father begetting the son, and this love created the spirit. Ok, well, I still don't get the love making the spirit bit completely, but it is intriguing.
