Reading Rants
"WARNING: This is an Unconventional Opinion Article. It will go against an idea many people live by. Please do not read unless you are very open-minded. Negative comments will be treated as hostile."
I was very discouraged by the "rod of discipline" stuff I read in the Bible today. I thought the Lord wanted it to just be correction, but saying rod specifically seems to put focus on making it painful to me. I wish God stopped giving me these mixed signals and be more straightforward.

Ten Random Quotes #4
1. If God don't teach it, I can't preach it!
2. If anyone teases how you do things, just remember that what works, WORKS. No matter how ridiculous they say it is, their words can't stop something from functioning properly.
3. Don't quote something you're not.
4. Some things are better experienced than articulated.
5. To empower someone is to build strength, not to kill weakness. To try to actively kill something that is merely the need for something else is ignorance.
6. Passion inspires creativity in any field.
7. Never take rest for granted, because your body, spirit, and brain will automatically shut you down if you refuse to.
8. If we never complimented each other, we would never appreciate the fruits of our labor, nor find it purposeful or successful.
9. Self-reliance is about doing for you, not about active separation from others.
10. Parents carry your DNA, shared interests, your habits, and much more, so don't be ashamed to call them "friend." It's really part of loving yourself.

The Disciplined Son
"WARNING: This is an Unconventional Opinion Article. It will go against an idea many people live by. Please do not read unless you are very open-minded. Negative comments will be treated as hostile."
Once upon a time, there was a normal family of three: Father, Mother, and Son. But the Parents only concern was discipline. That the boy do what he should, and nothing else. He was to do chores and home work before they came home at 9 at night, nothing less was expected. He was to get good grades, eat nourishing foods, exercise, and work hard for his future job and eventual independence. He had his minor missteps and mishaps, and was properly punished for this. The boy didn't complain, as he had an obligation to go to church every Sunday, and listen to sermons about accepting discipline and honoring his parents. And they made sure not to coddle him, letting the waves of life crash against so he can have a thicker skin and stand on his own. They emphasized that they were not his friends, but his parents and the authority in his life until he was grown.
A time came when the boy graduated, and had officially become a man. He was mature and responsible, taking care of his adult duties as expected. He independently got his own home, a state away from his parents, but none of them minded. He eventually got married and had a family: a girl and a boy of his own. Before he walked down the aisle, he assured his father, "I will always call," and preceded on to his new life.
But after a while, the Parents got lonely. The Son did not return to visit. But he did call. He called every Sunday at precisely 2:00 pm, as he didn't want to disturb them while in church. And that was it. No visits, no sitting on the porch to talk with dad. No sipping coffee in the kitchen reminiscing with mom. Just a call on Sunday. They would talk about what was going on with his job, wife, and children, and then they hung up. The same questions every Sunday. So it was a shock that one Sunday when the father snatched away the phone from the mother, yelling, "WHY DON'T YOU COME AROUND ANYMORE?!"
There was a long silence, then the son gave a genuine reply:
"You were my discipline. Since I now have self-control, what's the point of coming over?"

Warning for Unconventional Opinion Posts
Hello readers!
I just wanted to give this little heads-up. I am about to write some things on here that are very unconventional, or against established ideals. At the top of these posts, I will write:
"WARNING: This is an Unconventional Opinion Article. It will go against an idea many people live by. Please do not read unless you are very open-minded. Negative comments will be treated as hostile."
"Hostile" means exactly that.
I just want you as readers to know if you choose to read these pieces, the responsibility falls on you to control your reactions to such posts. This is not to scare you, but it is a deterrent from arguments over what I write.
Hopefully, those of you who choose to read these posts will see something new and expand your open mind.
Thank you.
