Thanks for the encouraging words, I've really been enjoying the past week myself too!

If there is a rule, it must be a very, very simple one, with infinite and complex permutations and iterations. Which, of course, begs the question - what's the rule? Zach, your blog entries of late have been really enjoyable. I think it's okay if they are messy or not quite right. (Darn. Didn't I just write about that? Sigh. Chuckle.) Just write. :) In your more recent entry, I'm delighted to find your description of what the Gospel really means, because I've found the same thing, myself. Romans 8:38-39... Meet you in the field. ;-) I came to the same conclusion but don’t really like sounding like a moral relativist… is this moral relativism, or is the universal rule just a big YMMV?

I was going to comment, but it turned out being too long. I think my next post will be regarding this. Thanks for the verse Ted. I was going to comment, but it turned out being too long.

Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned! " Zach, I love you, man, and my wife and I are in constant prayer for you every night now.

Or is it MY insanity in Zach's body-mind? I love that verse in the Aitereya Upanishad "Then the Lord said, "let me be many!" I enjoy very much your insanity.

I love that verse in the Aitereya Upanishad “Then the Lord said, “let me be many!”
