intermittent broadcasts is where it’s at
click the pic for recent armijo fun. worksafe.
alas news well it seems congrats are in order for rudy and val as they are preggers or rather she is.
but its his fault.
also they sold their house and are homeless so if you live in sac holla. they are in the family shelter on 8th and lacienega rudy will be in the hunter’s cap. =j/p=
anyway good luck on the new house and new baby. challenges don’t get greater than this.
plus really good blogging lately i have really enjoyed the impassioned prose plus good job on letting your families have it they deserve whatever they get for raising two such generous caring and enlightened persons. =sarcasm=
plus what else
WAIT
i am not moving on.
We are adults with our own sets of values, and i have been not saying stuff because I felt like I was judging and I don’t know all of your motivations, but i was reading last night (the secret on ararat the new tim lahaye book) some christian fiction when this one passage really spoke to me. it was the main character drawing a parallel between our time (now) and Noah’s time right before the flood when morality was relative to what each man’s set of values were. he was saying that the only group persecuted for their beliefs anymore are ardent christians. (which by the way is not true, if you have been to church you will realize this; i have seen pastors chastising persons, without any humor, for not believing in the death penalty)
but it made me think, Am i not voicing my opinion for fear of being religiously oppressive to the alfonsos and radiant life?
or is it the appearance of that?
or am i like the people in Noah’s time simply afraid to speak on what others do because it wouldn’t be accepting even though i feel in my bones its a mistake?
here is the quote from the book
“the traditional definition of tolerance is living peaceably alongside others in spite of differences. But that view of tolerance has been twisted today to mean that everyone must accept the other person’s viewpoints without question because the truth is relative. What’s true for one person may not be true for another person, right?” end quote
so what am i actually saying? i don’t know. i am not sure. i don’t know you well enough anymore to tell you that what your doing is wrong. i am not even sure why concretely i am saying this. but it feels wrong, and some of the the actions that have grown out of it don’t sound like you guys. some of them sound mean-spirited and bitter; 2 things i know you both not to be.
I may be but i don’t think y’all are. and your families love you i don’t think that they don’t care. i saw your mom the other day and she looked stunned when she saw me, “have you seen my son?”
she attempted humor but their was too much pain in her eyes for it to come off that way,
it smacked of desperation and of loss.
I realize this is all none of my business but is this really the path of christ?
well with that said grain of salt.
hope we can kick it next time we are in sac.
we would love to see the new house and
meet the new family.
