I want you to feel welcomed any time. Your voice is important to me. I've let "my reaction consume my thinking" too much of my life. I'm just not going to dwell on it as much anymore. (But that doesn't mean I'm not going to NOT notice either!)<BR/><BR/>Elbow: So... um... like when are you going to be my #5?<BR/><BR/>SAM: You are the MOST okay in my book! You are far more than okay - you are super fantastic - and anyone who says otherwise has a beef with me! :)Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159223254071653666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26181705.post-70207312705636113302007-07-26T19:00:00.000-06:002007-07-26T19:00:00.000-06:00I would have to say that of everyone in the Queero...I would have to say that of everyone in the Queerosphere, I am the most okay.

It's funny that you should post about this because I've really been trying to not let me desires and attractions rule my life, both in the moment, and aftewards when I let my reaction consume my thinking.

Maybe we could all meet here??? :)<BR/><BR/>John, you bring up a really good point. With Satan, we're damned if we do and damned if we don't. We need to find that middle ground, between damnations, before we can truly accept ourselves.<BR/><BR/>Beck, two weeks!!! You go girl! And, I don't know that I"m at a point yet where I wouldn't have run off after those two joggers with my camera.

I'm trying to recognize the middle road here, not flying off the handle because I'm tempted in the first place, and not beating myself up because I looked! It has taken a long time to recognize the dangers of lust, but moreso, the dangers of destroying myself over the process! I haven't thought of it as pride, but I can see it as such. Thank you, John, for the wisdom of your kind words... And I would LOVE to meet you!!!Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159223254071653666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26181705.post-66448997590453395842007-07-25T23:12:00.001-06:002007-07-25T23:12:00.001-06:00I'm jealous. I want to meet you too!I was thinkin...I'm jealous. I want to meet you too!<BR/><BR/>I was thinking about the very thing you mention under point (3) earlier today... Satan has two different ways of getting us. The first (obvious) way is to tempt us into lascivious thought patterns that drive away the Spirit. The second (far less obvious) way is to convince us that because our heart leaps at the sight of a beautiful man, that we are very bad, bad people, that we should be far better than that, etc. This also drives away the Spirit, but in a way that makes us less aware that we've driven it away. The first appeals to our lust. But the second appeals to our pride, a far, far more dangerous emotion.<BR/><BR/>Oddly, the middle path is what will save us... Acknowledging our humanness, our human responses and human natures, and learning for that to be "enough." Not letting our lust control us, but not thinking we should be anything else but human either.
