Commitment
Recently, this image popped up online and sent 'fan boys' abuzz. Why, well Spiderman in a black costume can only mean 1 thing (to those who know the comics. To those who dont. you will have to wait.......)But more recently, I was talking to Payne about the idea of commitment. And why is it that people these days seem to lack the ability to 'commit'.
And why do people say 'yes' to something, when really they mean 'no' and then they end up looking even sillier when their 'yes' turns into a 'no'.
Any idea what I am talking about?
Why is it people miss bible study week after week after 'committing' to a group at the beginning of the year?
Why is it people take weeks to decide whether to go away, or to join a soccer team (that ones for you Payne)?
WHY WHY WHY?
What is it about committing to something we are affraid of?
I think the world doesn't want us to commit to things.
But the Gospel commands commitment to Jesus.
Matt 5:37 "Let your yes be yes, and your no be no"

With you 110%.
Although I can't remember the exact conversation. But that's probably coz I have had a whinge about commitment 20 times to 20 people recently!
I don't understand what the problem is behind it. I think it's a cultural thing. But basically it comes down to priorities -- because sometimes these guys who umm and aah for weeks about committing to one thing will bend over backwards to be part of another, far less important, thing.
Priorities.
P.S. Spiderman -- intrigued?
P.P.S. I finally know about The Dude.

Amen brother.
And i think lunch is right - it is all got to do with priorities!
And people worry that if they commit to something then something 'better' will come up - which is just rude to the first person!
ah what will we do!?! hehe
