When you work at a typical UPS warehouse or HUB you’d quickly get the feeling that you are surrounded by old, worn, and beaten up equipment, machinery, tools, etc. This is a valid feeling, because you really are surrounded by all these things, but UPS also is a gateway to some of the newer and newest things in life.

None of the deodorants/antiperspirants that I have been using over the past few work well when I am at UPS, so I decided to try the new Addidas antiperspirant this week. I figured that it is supposed to be sporty and would thus work better when I am in a hot feeder moving boxes for four to five hours a night.
So, far so good. If only the smell was appealing.

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.)

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.

I think that it is a cool thought to think that our relationship to God and our fellow man will be better than a marriage/sexual relationship is here on Earth. I used to be shocked and appalled to think that there’d be no sex (implied by the thought that there would be no marriage between people) in heaven, but now I view it differently. I think we’ll have an intimacy more intense and complete than sex with everyone there in heaven.
Is this based on anything Biblical? Not really.
