This year towards the end of August I wrote an entry about my New Year’s Resolutions for 2005. I wanted to get a jump start on the resolutions so I didn’t have to go cold turkey.
Today is the day that resolutions are normally made or announced so it seemed like a good time to review my resolutions and see where I need more resolve.

When I hear about people considering marriage or having their first child one of the first and most frequent objections to their consideration is that they aren’t ready yet. “Why aren’t you ready?” I’ll always ask. Their response is that they want to be “set financially” before they either get married or have a child.
I think that this is a popular, but errant line of thinking.

I’ve been going crazy lately because I have sooo much stuff that I need to get done this week, but only a week to fit it all in. My parents want me to get some things done. I have marriage counseling and doctor’s appointments to keep. I also have to clean my room, which is nearly impossible. I have to get my car serviced. I need to talk to some people who Joy says I need to talk to to get this wedding thing arranged. The list is endless it seems.

Today I spent a lot of time with Joy. For a decent part of the day we were arguing away. Joy levied accusation after accusation against me, my character, and my various dissapproved of behaviors.
There was one thing that was pretty fun though. On the way to her house — to pick up my car — I decided to be funny and do this thing that she always does to me. So, we stop at this gas station, but before we stop I suggest a pump for us to get our gas from. Joy was going to that pump anyway, and that is where the fun began…

I was thinking that marriages probably last longer if two people love the same god. This could be an idol like money, political power, status, family, security, etc; it could also be a false religion; or it could be the one true God. It matters, of course, but at the same time simply loving the same god will add to stability in the relationship — in my opinion.
Also, since many people who love the true God also have idols, I’d say that it probably helps the relationship to have as many common loves as possible. On the other hand, if there is only one common love in the relationship (God) and the other idols and such are different you could have a difficult but rewarding marriage because all the idols will be systematically damaged and destroyed throughout the relationship (as long as the relationship is more important than any idol.)

My entries this week seem to be pretty relaxed and journal-like, which is definately unusual for this blog, but I am not really feeling like my usual self either.
Today I woke up, but I don’t really remember when. It must have been late though. My dad came upstairs, woke me up, and yelled, “David! Wake up! You’ve got work to do!” In the way he usually does when my mom has piled up a list of work for the whole family.

Today Joy and I woke up at noon, ate breakfast, and went off to the Mueller’s house. We got into a bit of an argument along the way, but it wasn’t much of an argument, because I knew I was wrong from the start and didn’t put up much of a fight. That seemed to be quite unsatisfactory for Joy, so she dug deeper until she found a fighting spirit. It wasn’t much of one though. I was just in a discussion mood.

RULE #1: Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you.
RULE #2: You’re not paranoid; they’re just naive.
RULE #3: This is about you. I knew you’d come read this. I log your IP address.
