So apparently "loose lips sink ships" has now become "loose tweets sink fleets." Talk about upping the ante (at government work places), haha. Anyway, I don't think I'd be very good at using twitter.
Completely unrelated, but I've been thinking somewhat of racial profiling (spurred by the arrest of that Harvard professor). And people are so against it because it poses a liability to them, based on stereotypes of some group they belong to (I think)? But what about profiling (not racial) in the context of Christianity? I'm the one posing a huge liability to the name of Jesus, when there is no reason at all to group me with Him? I think that's why I find it really really hard to either read the bible in public (I've seen several do it on subway rides, which always makes me smile), pray in public, or otherwise advertise my beliefs in any manner whatsoever. The intern who works in the same office as me is Christian, not ashamed of it, and what I think is a good example of leading a public Christian life. It's just really hard for me to find a way to balance trying not to be a bad example of a Christian with the necessity of proclaiming my faith (not necessarily by reading the bible or praying in public, I don't think I could ever do that) in order to share the gospel.
Somewhat unrelated, but I'm reproducing a quote from another blog because I found it to be really really pertinent (to me). So it's a quote of a quote, if you will. This actually feels somewhat awkward, haha:
"Sometimes it seems that our many words are more an expression of our doubt than of our faith. It is as if we are not sure that God’s Spirit can touch the hearts of people: we have to help him out and, with many words, convince others of his power. But it is precisely this wordy unbelief that quenches the fire."
I think I've messed up a lot in that respect, in the past.
