A stumbling block

What do you think it means to be a "stumbling block" to someone? And how far do we go in order not to be a stumbling block for another person? I mean, do we give up everything questionable, just in case someone has a problem with that certain action? You can't know someone has a problem with what you're doing unless they confront you on it. How can I be responsible for what people might possibly be thinking? If someone tells me they have a problem with what I am doing, and it is causing a spiritual roadblock for them, I will gladly stop for that person's sake, but am I to not do the thing just because it might be a spiritual roadblock to someone that hasn't told me it is?

I was pondering these things by the fireplace last night around 1:30am (I guess that would be this morning), and I couldn't come to a conclusion, except I think I disagree with Mr. Bedell. That kind of scares me, because he is a very wise man. Maybe I'm just rebellious.

Update on my life

My heart's not very pretty when it's naked.

I'm glad people still like me.

I'm glad Jesus liked me before I realized how my heart looks, and when he already did.

Got foreign countries on the brain...

I guess no one really wanted to talk about sex, judging from the response to my last blog :)

Oh well, different subject. Tonight I went to see the movie Memoirs of a Geisha. I guess that's partly why I say I got foreign countries on the brain. There's also this song by Fleming & John that I've been listening to that has quite an Indian flair. I know, different foreign countries and different cultures. There's so many places I want to go. And you can't extricate the people from the places, so I want to get involved in the lives of the people that live in those places too.

Maybe it all comes back to connecting. Maybe I just want to connect with the people and the environment and with God halfway around the world. I kind of like the sound of that. Anybody got free plane tickets??
