I slept well today, a bit too well in fact but really, what is this world coming to when we begin to complain about having slept far too well? Anyway recently I’ve been waking up really late and I love it more than anything else. I truly believe that I will dread the start of school again on Monday (well I dread it already) but oh well, what can you do; beggars can’t be choosers. Meh. It would seem that my current break from school has lightened my mood considerably and conversely achieved the goal of making me never want to go back (oh what a double-edged sword).
Not too far from where I live.
As the caption reads, the above isn’t too far from where I live and before you arrive at the misunderstanding that I–for some reason!–stepped out of my home, dear reader, I’ll duly note that I took this picture some time ago yet the scenery has remained unchanged, the snow is still here and the cold seems to have an incessant grip on this part of Canada (though I suppose that it holds sway over Canada at large). That aside, doesn’t the scenery seem incredibly pleasant or is that just me still on an emotional high due to the fact that glasses make the world go round? Who knows, who cares; I certainly don’t.
Though pleasant, this doesn’t mean that I have any intention of going outside, some things are better appreciated at a distance, especially when you’re on a break from school and feeling perpetually sleepy and the confines of your home (and bed) are just so enchantingly warm. I’m surprised I’m even blogging given that I’m anything but a regular blogger and usually only average 1 post per month but hey, miracles happen. Nevermind that I have yet to reply to any of my text messages but as I said yesterday, “this is winter break and things need’t quite make any sense at all”.
Speaking of miracles, small miracles at that, I was reading from Isaiah yesterday and I’m not a regular Bible reader. I can’t find anything or anyone to blame and so I’ll just come out with it: I’m a lazy person, especially in regards to what God expects and wants. Not that reading it is boring or anything–far from it. It’s just that in the course of my week I tend to forget to read God’s word. I know, I know, woe is me. Now, getting back to Isaiah:
11 “I, even I, am the LORD,
and apart from me there is no savior.
12 I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—
I, and not some foreign god among you.
You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God.”— Isaiah 43:11-12 NIV
There’s not much that I really want to say about the above save to say that it did make me consider Unitarianism and its belief that Jesus is the Saviour (there’s Canadian spelling for you) without himself being God. This passage and the many like it (the above is just a small portion of the material that I read) parceled throughout this book and the Bible are quite clear that God is the only saviour. In fact, I don’t believe that anyone else in the Bible is referred to as the saviour, not Moses, David, Elijah etc. only the LORD and so how would the individual who is a Unitarian reconcile the above with something like Titus 1:4.
Anyway this is beginning to sound too much like a God Omnipotent post (shameless plug) and so I’ll stop here. I’m tired and sleepy and so I guess I’ll go to bed. I’m on winter break, about to fall asleep and life seems rather fine.
