Today I finally got my driver’s license. Tonight I drove over to a friend’s house.
I didn’t feel like biting anybody tonight.
Anyway, I’m running out of page here. I was just thinking; I desire a marriage-ish intimate sort of relationship with many, but I’m starting to wonder if that isn’t a bit unrealistic. What am I? What am I capable of? Today’s culture does seem to do something, too. Everybody gets married. Or so ‘the world’ would have me believe. Friends speak of it as though it is just another part of life; a stage, something that happens to everybody. There is still that verse in… 1 Corinthians it is, I think, that says… You know, I think again of that comment. The one about my potentially having relationships, intimate relationships, with many women. But then, says I, what would be special about my wife? There would virtually no difference, except for the sexual aspect. 1 Corinthians 7 seems to address this. The gist I get is that it is preferable that people not marry, but that it is allowed, because of "immoralities", or however it is translated in any given version. There is the issue of sexual drives being rather physical, brought on by chemical conditions in our bodies. So, then, are there groups of people, made to avoid such things, who, like Paul, are the ideal? Or is this, like some other, much more minor concepts in the Bible a mere opinion expressed by the human author? I suppose it’s possible, but I’m not buying it. I don’t see many toddlers lost in shopping malls. Where did that come from? Dunno. I guess it was a half-analogy, something my subconscious discarded before it came out. Or perhaps it was a random association. They’re not uncommon, but certainly not a regular occurrence for me. I guess it’s a sign that I should be heading to sleep. It is 3:00 in the morning.
Silly Kevin.
