Deep and Weird

Well, I hope all of you are enjoying your Winter Breaks.
I haven't blogged much lately, partially because of icky finals and mostly because my internet has been broken.
Stupid 'puter.
But, it is now fixed.
Also, check out my most recent link.
36 is thinking of doing "Worst Christmas Traditions" next year for the J. Alvin Christmas party, and fruitcake has a very strong chance of making the cut.

So, obviously, things are easier to destroy than they are to create.
It took me four hours to build my big, fancy LEGO house and ten seconds to smash it with my baseball bat.
So, in that sense, creation is more important and meaningful than destruction.
I think that creation is associated with goodness responsibility and destruction with badness and disorder.
But, at the same time, destruction is necessary because things decay.
Think about it this way:
If I built a house one day, and I made it entirely out of wood, then after 60 years or so, the wood would rot. I would then have to either remove the bad parts of the house, thus destroying, and add new ones, thus creating again or I would simply tear down the house and build a better one.
In that case, and in many cases, it seems that the purpose of creation is not only to make, but to make new and to make better.
So, think about it this way, God created our world with the intention for it to be good and to last forever, but he knew that sin would enter the world and corrupt all of these good things.
This made it possible for God to remake the world, thus keeping only the good things, which would be the parts of the house that stayed good after 60 years, and improve it.
So, destruction is only necessary because of the fall, but it also makes a greater and more powerful creation possible.
So, sin itself isn't a good thing, but God is so powerful that, by overcoming sin, he makes what is good even better.
The world is going to be remade.
There are things that suck.
But we have a lot to look forward to.
Isn't that neat?
