GOODBYE

In case the lack of posts hasn't given it away, I'm now spending my web time on Facebook.com, where as of this posting I am blogging almost daily. If you want to see what I have to say, go to www.creed'sthoughts.gov\blogspace.creedsthought - no wait, I mean go to http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=528330155. You'll have to be my friend to see most of what's on there, but I think you'll agree that I'm worth the effort.

If I'm not, you'll have to find out the way most people do, which involves being served papers.

 I Have A New Toy!

Actually, I have two. The first is the mp3 player I bought so I would go out and exercise (keep me accountable, people!). The second is the Do It Yourself Demotivator generator on despair.com.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the site, they have all kinds of interesting "Demotivator" posters that are primarily a reaction against the whole motivational movement. I highly recommend going there for the laughs, although not if you're already pretty depressed.

What I discovered is that if you click on the little "D.I.Y." tab at the top, you can load whatever picture you want from your hard drive, write your own text and create your own demotivating poster. Naturally, I've made a dozen or so just since I found out about it two days ago. Here are some of my favorites (for the original Demotivators, made by the professionals, go to the website.)

A friend of mine had a weird dream. She dreamt she was getting married, but she had never met the groom and the only people who she knew at the wedding were her parents (although a mutual friend of ours did poke his head in briefly). She can't remember the groom's face, but she's sure it was no one she knows. He was of medium build and height, had dark blonde/brown hair and wore khakis and a blue shirt to the reception.

If you know someone who matches this description, please ask him if he had a similar dream. If this dream belongs to him, please have him contact my friend (through me) and I'm sure she would be happy to return it.

Man, it's been way too long since I've done a real update...

About a week ago, I gave the commentary for the Scripture at Beit Shalom, our Messianic group that we go to in addition to our Sunday church. It was pretty cool. I didn't get the feeling of God completely taking over that I did at the Gospel Mission, but He was in it nonetheless. Speaking of which, I'm scheduled to do the Gospel Mission again on March 20th.

In other big news, I'm running for Library Board. Also, my parents and I went through this visioning project our city government did. That was pretty fun.

I'm pretty sure there's some other stuff I should really put here, like how fun work has been the last couple of months, but I want to go watch the Smallville tapes from 6th season Josh is lending me.

An Observation of the Human Mind

I have come to a realization: Faith is the foundation of logic and reason.

If you trace any logic chain, you will (assuming it is not circular) eventually arrive at either something that cannot be proven or disproven, or something that is assumed (in ignorance of evidence, which may or may not support the assumption or in concious contradiction of it).

The ironic thing about this is that logic and reason are the ultimate objects of faith for many who consider themselves intelligent. At least, that is what they say.

It occurs to me that it may then be possible to determine the ultimate object of a person's faith by going back along their logic until you arrive at a faith foundation, repeating the process until you have arrived at the root.
