The balance
A balance
He struck a balance
Between friends of the other sex
Who want other sex
And friends who had his own interests
Handsome
Wholesome
Real
Mysterious
Give me strength.
Give me strength Oh Lord to be yours wholly
Not desperate for the attention
affection
acceptance of man
Each day I do and say things I fight t do or not do
Desperate for comfort
Desperate for excellence
Or am I?
Am I desperate to excel?
r desperate to sell sex?
There needs to be a balance
Of things promoting excellence
And little of the sheer nonsense.
Plead my cause Oh Lord
Help me to stand firm
He struck a balance
Between friends of the other sex
Who want other sex
And friends who had his own interests
Handsome
Wholesome
Real
Mysterious
Give me strength.
Give me strength Oh Lord to be yours wholly
Not desperate for the attention
affection
acceptance of man
Each day I do and say things I fight t do or not do
Desperate for comfort
Desperate for excellence

Am I desperate to excel?

There needs to be a balance
Of things promoting excellence
And little of the sheer nonsense.

Help me to stand firm

Questions about our faith
Why do we support polarization?
segregation? Hate not directed at us?
An us and them philosophy, when Jesus was an equalizer.
Why do we take some things from the old Testament but not others?
I was told we keep the things Jesus kept and discarded the laws that He didn't.
Why then do we cry "Incline our hearts to keep this law" after each of the 10 commandments but preach 8/10?
Why does our Doctrine and Discipline impart on us abstinence from alcohol yet our preachers surely do drink?
Where is the care for the caregiver program?
Just asking...

Questions
At times I examine and analyse my behavior and wonder.
I wonder if I don't smile or seem approachable, positive and confident because I feel people already expect me to.
Perhaps it's people's faces.
I somehow decide on a way to behave with an individual or a group and assume that stance going forward when we interact. It seems unnatural not to assume the role that began. Take for instance my relationship with J.W. Why do I find it so hard to look him in the eyes?
