I Believe

...in the power of music

...that art should challenge us and obliterate boundaries

...in the value of silence

...in God, but not the one with the robe and the white beard... mine seems much more elusive... I'm still looking for Him

...that a good boss will let you take off early once in a while

...that not every meal is an event

...that blind faith comes too easily to the ignorant masses, and that this is a dangerous trait

...that you should read the bit about blind faith one more time

...that it's important to have the confidence to say "no"

...that addiction is not a disease. It is much more complicated than that

...in the sanctity of marriage, and that we should cherish our partners

...that no one will ever hijack an airplane with a box cutter again

...in using turn signals

...in the healing power of watching my children sleep

...that big biceps are overrated

...that big breasts are too, and that implants for the sake of vanity are barbaric

...in music that comes from an actual vibrating source, like a guitar string or a drum head, and not a "start" button

...that hip hugger jeans aren't flattering to the tush

...that evangelism is a haven for hysteria and unnecessary drama... these are the same kind of people who burned "witches"

...that every child breaks their parents' hearts at some point

...that celery has no place in a salad

...that "wind chill factor" is a useless description... comparing "45 degrees and windy" to "32 degrees and still" doesn't say anything useful... a cold windy day feels worse than a cold still day

...that celebrity is what you make it

...that cute is sexier than perfect

...that a nutria changed the course of my life


Shalom.
