A place for the weary travelers to drop their packs and warm their hands by the hearth. Listen to the old men telling lies by the checker board or the young troubadour playing a song of courtly love. Or, if reality's your thing, read my stuff. "There is only one difference between a madman and me. I am not mad." -- Salvador Dali (1904-1989) Spanish surrealist painter
Philippians 4:8

I've done everything from fall 60 feet off a cliff, to work an underground wrestling promotion, work as dj and music director for a gospel radio station, publish various kinds of writing for small, national journals, and I've spent a lot of time on the internet. But I don't want to try encapsulating myself in 1200 words. Read my stuff and you'll come to know me.

I love this passage- it skips over all of our defenses about our 'righteous outward behavior' and gets right to what really matters- what is going on in our hearts. If your heart is set on things that are ungodly and untrue, then your actions will flow out of that, no matter how much you try to 'act' like a good Christian. Setting our hearts on the things of God should be our first defense mechanism against sin. If you don't do that, all of the boundaries in the world won't keep you in line.
Yes. It's one of my favorite passages. In fact, I have said before that I'd like it on my tombstone. Although I'd also like "You better get off me before I come up there" on my tombstone.
Good meditation; now if only I would practice that consistently.
