| While most people believe that pleasure is a good thing, they also
categorize and rank its different types. Some pleasures are subtle,
others are intense. Some are best experienced alone, others can be
enjoyed only in community. Some are base, others noble. Some are purely
physical, while others are inextricably bound up with our higer powers.
And then there are those most fulfilling pleasures - the ones that
follow from the completion of the highest human endeavors. The late
Allen Bloom noted the occasions that tend to elicit such feelings:
"victory in a just war, consummated love, artistic creation, religious
devotion, and the discovery of truth."
My english teacher gave us this handout of a persuasive essay against
marijuana legalization by Damon Linker and etc...that's where I pulled
the above paragraph out of. Interesting. Anyway, I was so
glad/happy/excited (all the good emotions) that religious devotion is
in the list of highest human endeavors. I look forward to my next
devotion or meeting with God. I look forward to that kind of pleasure
that accompanies spending quality time with Him.
ps: that dove shampoo is not too shabby. my hair feels pretty smooth.

" The Dove Difference is our Weightless Moisture"
I'll give it a week and see how it comes out.

| The Waters of Baptism
The waters of baptism paint a vivid picture of our Christian faith -
symbolizing the cleansing of our hearts from sin,
death to our old way of living, and
our resurresction with Christ
to walk in newness
of life
