Comments on: Life without a car http://darrylsloan.wordpress.com/2006/07/23/life-without-a-car/ Author of the apocalyptic thriller 'Chion' Wed, 23 Jul 2008 18:20:48 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU By: Darryl Sloan http://darrylsloan.wordpress.com/2006/07/23/life-without-a-car/#comment-100 Darryl Sloan Wed, 09 Aug 2006 13:27:00 +0000 http://darrylsloan.wordpress.com/2006/07/23/life-without-a-car/#comment-100 LOL! I vaguely remember that verse. Hold on while I consult Bible Gateway ... That's Philippians 4:8. "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things." I think this is Paul's say of saying, "Focus your mind on doing what's right. Don't spend time thinking about ways to sin."<br/><br/>If the verse meant what you originally took it to mean, it would forbid us from reading parts of the Bible, such as the gruesome content of the Book of Judges.<br/><br/>Now that you've brought the verse to mind, it's a timely reminder to me of why I can't seem to shake my vices permanently - because I dwell on them, wondering if they're really all that bad, allowing the devil seduce me.<br/><br/>But on a lighter note, at least I get to keep my zombies. :-) LOL! I vaguely remember that verse. Hold on while I consult Bible Gateway … That’s Philippians 4:8. “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.” I think this is Paul’s say of saying, “Focus your mind on doing what’s right.

If the verse meant what you originally took it to mean, it would forbid us from reading parts of the Bible, such as the gruesome content of the Book of Judges.

Now that you’ve brought the verse to mind, it’s a timely reminder to me of why I can’t seem to shake my vices permanently - because I dwell on them, wondering if they’re really all that bad, allowing the devil seduce me.

But on a lighter note, at least I get to keep my zombies. :-)

These days, I'm a bit homeless as far as church is concerned. I work in a school as a computer techie and run a filmmaking club for the kids. I also take part in the Scripture Union. None, actually.

Mine just failed the MOT, and I had to shell out £665 on repairs. Cars are great, except for the fact they have a tendency to suck your savings dry.
