Stuff I'm Wondering about

I'm wondering...

……how Ms. Rowling can possibly salvage her Hogwarts series after the one-two punch she just delivered.

And why is it…

…that I’d never noticed until this week that Paul thinks it’s better for the widows in Corinth to remain single (1 Cor. 7:8), yet he wants young widows in Ephesus to remarry (1 Tim. 5:14)?

…that when Paul uses a head-body analogy for marriage, we immediately start drawing an org chart instead of seeing a head with a body and marveling at the interconnectedness of two as one?

… that Peaches, our fat tabby, lies flat on her back like a dog?

… that a lot of the same people who say it’s wrong to use barrier contraception on the grounds of it being “unnatural” also insist feeding tubes are God’s will?

…that we sometimes take Christian couples who are doing a good job of making decisions mutually and teach them the husband is to make the final decision when Paul assumes Spirit-filled couples can decide mutually about abstinence for prayer and fasting (1 Cor. 7:5)?

…that if you know three languages you’re trilingual, and if you know two languages you’re bilingual, but if you know one language you’re an American?

Stuff people have told me recently:

Heather: If you wait until as late at 9:30 PM to go trick-or-treating, people will give you the rest of their candy.

Steve: During Hurricane Wilma headlines in Frankfurt, Germany, said, "Wilma devastates Cancún: 6000 Germans stay put." The subhead said, "More than a million homeless: how travel agents are reacting." Boy, yeah, isn't that what we were all dying to know? "Whoa. How are the travel agents taking it?"

What do you wonder? What have people told you?
