Two things:

1. It's Tuesday diagram fun!

This was my attempt to understand 1 Peter 5:5-9. I'm sure it's more than confusing to all of you. However, as I tried to understand the cause and effect language in this letter, it ended up morphing into this.

I find it hilarious that I a) still can't draw people b) now understand this piece of scripture pretty well and c) took the time to draw a diagram.

2. We are a product of our past.

I'm trying to come up with a new playlist for Week 3 of running (12.5 miles logged thus far!!!) and I found myself thinking, "I don't have nearly enough techno or dance/rap."

Wow. Old habits die out of the iPod first and the brain second.

(A little disclaimer here might be prudent. Since I danced so much in high school, I was an eager consumer of dance music and, yes, even Sisqo's album back in the day. Still, "The Thong Song" will not be on treadmill rotation. Ever.)

But before I look like I'm lying, y'all better recognize that Justin Timberlake's "My Love," and Prince's "I Feel for You" most definitely make the cut. (They're like crack.)

Do not lose faith, dear reader, I will be righting the cosmic balance by driving home with Patty Griffin.
