A New day and a new Question

Well, on my last post, which granted was a really long time ago, we seem to be agreed that we are fat because we are lazy, and we are lazy because we have lots of wealth and TV. To catch you up a bit. I made it through IPS, or at least the week of in Class work. Now I have 6 months worth of homework to do. Joy. I keep telling myself that I willingly chose to do this.

Some scary news that most of you already know. Since the last time I posted, my Dad was diagnosed with Colon cancer and he had surgery yesterday to remove a 3rd of his colon. If you want to keep up on him, there are regular updates here. My family has pretty much had the roughest year of our lives to date, what with mom, and now dad. The good news is, it seems that they probably caught it early enough, although we'll know more when we hear the pathology reports on Wednesday.

I'm supposed to preach Sunday and I was working on that for most of this evening, so this blogging is my reward before I hit the sack. Still have alot of work to go on that.

The Question for this week is sort of open ended and I have a few theories of my own. I preached at Shekinah's Chapel service last Wednesday, and I told them that it seems to me that our culture worships youth. My question is, Why does our culture worship Youth? I don't think it has always been this way, we used to revere age. Let me have it. If you think I'm wrong you can let me have that too.

And now something to laugh at. A string of jokes about Bacon.
