I've had a rough day, hence the short video and shameless (heh) self-promotion of my awesome shed roof apparatus (No, not the roof, Monday.)

I am going to try to write down my thoughts on this.
"Does love trust the untrustworthy?" There are so many kinds of trust, that I can hardly say. In one sense, we shouldn't trust people (or ourselves), only God. (Psalm 146:3)
But in the sense of trusting them enough to put yourself in situations where you might be hurt... I was thinking about Jesus's death, and how he was willing to give everything because his kingdom is not of this world - but it's harder to live by that when the stakes get higher, affecting me.
I wrote a poem about this yesterday, actually. I don't completely understand it, but it has something to do with perspective, strengthening one another, and faith in the identity God has made. (ontological change)
love sees a world unbroken and by its seeing, makes trusting not against imperfection but for redemption
to wed is to make a home of the broken world loving over disunity uniting towards love
love alone has the clearest sight we, apart, shamed but - seen united into belief.
A Year Of Questions is a project begun on March 22, 2010, by seven teens who want to be better at asking questions and articulating answers. This blog exists to make it easier to discuss these questions (because a 500 character limit on YouTube comments is rather limiting). Enjoy!

Oh! I love it. Kierkegaard would be proud :P (really, I love this poem very much)
Good thoughts Thursday. Your videos need more volume, it's really hard to hear you.
Yeah, that video especially was outside and I was talking too quietly.
