What is the intersection of truth and love? Are they equally important, or does one take precedence over the other in certain situations? Are any of us qualified to try and live out either one or both?
Sometimes, even with the help of God, it's hard to see how to love everyone. Truth comes easier to me.

all the news...
So we found out yesterday that we're going to have a boy. I'm not sure I've ever seen Joe this excited about anything before, it's kinda funny. I'm very glad that he's so happy, though. I'm still a little uneasy about the whole thing, just because I am so used to dealing with girls.
In other news, I'm finally getting around to reading Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell. It is a fabulous book, and everyone should read it. I'm still trying to digest and comprehend everything he says, but I'm so amazed by how much more the Bible makes sense when you understand the history and the Jewish culture and context in which it was written. It's interesting, too, because that kind of understanding of the Bible puts a lot more responsibility on Christians to be active about what is in the Bible, rather than just passive hearers. It also makes me wonder why none of this stuff is ever taught in churches...
