Topics I Am Thinking About

1.  A preacher on Saturday discussed the idea: "If you exalt yourself, you will be humbled.  If you humble yourself, you will be exalted."  "If you want to kiss the sky, better learn how to kneel."

2.  Last Wednesday night, a teacher discussed the implications of humanism.  The "state of the world today" is a complicated issue.  But I heard a comedian discuss the problem in what I think are the correct terms.  Paraphrasing him:  "Today, we celebrate 'what is."  People want their sex tapes released.  They want people to know they were abused.  It used to be that people cared more about what should be.  Now there this total acceptance of the world as it is."  Like I said, this is a complicated issue.

3.  I was talking with a guy about service and what it means "to serve."  This is another one of a complicated situations that is most likely contextual.  But I think it might be a good topic to expand on eventually.
