An Attempt to Explain: Why Today Is Just Another Day.

Instructions Before Reading

I stand by the right to publish incomplete snippets. The point of this blog is to share life. If there is a unity in my life, it will become apparent what that unity is. No post is a complete thought, theology, worldview, or poem within itself, it must be taken within the context of the entirety of this blog, considerations of who I am in public as well as who I am in extreme situations like when I am forced to wake up at 4:30 in the morning to help my wife jump start her car in 20 degree weather.

I recognize my right as a flawed human being to do the following: 1) be wrong, 2) change my mind, 3) be inconsistent, 4) have improper grammar and spelling conventions. You are just as flawed, wrong, capricious, and prone to theological alteration as I am... so get over it.

I'm being tongue in cheek, in a sense. But there is something very normal about today, eggs and coffee for breakfast normal.

Shift in thought....

I was seriously going to write about how today just felt normal, important but normal. This is probably due to some lack of preparation on my part. But even in the time it takes me to brew some coffee I'm hit by the profundity of how little I feel about a day of such importance. But in some sense we are very normal people who are fortunate enough to have the affections of someone extraordinary.

Today is a reminder for people like me who continually fail to get it.

Jesus knew he was dying for prostitutes, thieves, bad husbands and abusive fathers. I think he also knew he was dying for the apathetic.

I hope so. My life depends on it.
