Don't you hate it when....
...it seems like you hear the same message or theme in your life over and over again, from so many different directions?
I watched a movie on the CBC last night, Kings in Grass Castles, an australian/irish production about irish immigrants to Australia before the turn of the century. It was a fascinating and heartbreaking movie, but not a place I really expected to derive lasting personal insight from.
At one point in the movie the main character loses all of his wealth in the stock market crash, his brother, and his wife all in the space of a year. He stands at the top of a hill in the Kimberly in western Australia with his long-time aborigine friend Burrakim, telling him about the story of Job. Burrakim asks why God would have taken everything from Job and Dureck replies, "I suppose, to remind Job that God is God and Job is not."
Burrakim replies, "Your God sounds like a white man."

My Bloginality is ESFP!!!
Funny... Read what it says in the description of ESFP:
You are fun, and like to make others have fun, and this will make you have a well-liked weblog. You like learning in a hands-on way, and so you may have someone else do the behind the scenes things of your blog, and just be happy making shorter posts about the people you love. Theory is not your strong point, and so long analysis wouldn't fit in with the normal posting style.
Ha Ha!
I like the bit about the fun part of me though! Christmas parties, here I come!
