"Even as I begged you to remain at Ephesus, when I was going to Macedonia, that you might charge some that they teach no other doctrine, nor to give heed to fables and endless genealogies (which provide doubts rather than the nurture of God in faith)." [1Tim 1:3-4]
Time flies. I can't believe that June is almost over. I also am incredulous that it took Seattle so long to check it's email re: Summer. The warehouse is pretty hot, and the fans don't do a lot except move the mugginess from one corner to another. We cracked the bay doors yesterday, which was just refreshing enough to make us all realize how stuffy its been. Still, no complaints. I like my job, and I enjoy all the people there. I appreciate how, on a day like today where I have some things to do in the morning, there's nothing wrong with rolling in to the office at ten A.M. There's a lot of intangibles in play.
Paul cuts right to the point in his letter to Timothy. I like that about him too. Hi Timothy. God is still phenomenal, so please remember that. Anyway, to business: I told you the truth, and I told you all of it. I did the same at Ephesus; please remind them gently. Then, if you need to, do it with less gent. Variant doctrines, trying to incorporate other belief systems, and nitpicking all lead to shakiness of faith. The goal of our brotherhood in Christ is growth in faith, which is kinda the opposite of that.
You go, Paul. Tell 'em.

Ninety-nine days 'til I'm married to you, ninety-nine days 'til we're wed,
Wait one day, we're still okay, ninety-eight days 'til I'm married to you...
