A conversation between Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron, and several members of the Rational Response Squad. I ran across this link by accident. I don’t know where you fall on apologetics, but I appreciate attempts to use logic and reason in conjunction with faith. This should be interesting.
I want so much more than I have now.ÂÂ
More time, more chances to love, more courage to seize opportunities, more insight to see the opportunities present.ÂÂ
My greatest fear: to spend my life and only use a portion of potential.ÂÂ
At some point, I want to echo the words, “I have learned the secret to be content in any and every situation.” It seems there’s so much waiting, so many hoops to jump through, so many things to learn.ÂÂ
The joy is found in the journey, but sometimes the body aches.ÂÂ
Our little systems have their day;
They have their day and cease to be:
They are but broken lights of Thee,
And Thou, O Lord, art more than they.
- Alfred Tennyson, In Memoriam
Humbling words when I think I’ve got it all figured out.
Famed (or infamous) psychologist Carl Rogers defined the Ideal Self as “the self-concept which the individual would most like to possess, upon which he places the highest value for himself” (Rogers, 1959). This idea seems reasonable; we all have mental constructs of a seemingly perfect self that embodies our subjective understanding of full humanness.
I’m curious, do you have an ideal self? What are some of the “self-concepts” upon which you place highest value?ÂÂ
