Totally Random Ramblings

Here's what happens when I don't watch TV for a while...

I'm pretty happy with the way things are going right now. I feel like I'm coming out of a period of angst about the future. And as I was thinking about this, I wondered how temporary and fleeting this could be. Today at church, Todd talked about our nation and how it has lost its way from being based on truth. I got to thinking. Nations fall. What is keeping our nation from crumbling? Maybe it's the church. Maybe it's the fact that people in this nation still love God (Genesis 18:16-33). So how are we doing? Are we, the bride of Christ, striving to hold back the justice of God against our nation?

Speaking of the bride of Christ, this is something that blows my mind. We, the church, are the bride of Christ. We are also the body of Christ, and He is the head. How can we be both? This is a strange mystery, but Paul acknowledged as much (Ephesians 5:32). Our union with Christ is spiritual, though. Our fleshly union on this earth is just a picture of the intimacy and the pleasure we will experience (1 Corinthians 6:16-17).

So what's the verdict? Should I watch more TV or less?
