mish-mash

I was thinking today about how different I am from my sisters . We all grew up in the same house, but our wants/desires/attitudes about life are *so* different. Yet, we are very much the same. It just strikes me as interesting. It is like adding the same ingredient (our childhood) into three different batches of bread dough -- it has had a very different effect on us all. I think we are all happy with our choices; we are all serving God and have a vision of where we are headed -- really, what more could I ask for?

What brought this on was watching Batman Begins (love it) and thinking about the quote from Katie Holmes "It's not who are you on the inside, but what you do that defines you." This hits me in a two different ways. My immediate response is one of agreement, "Yes, because who you are comes through your actions, for better or worse." But then I also disagree with this because I am defined by God -- my actions cannot define me in this sense because my actions do not always line up with what I know to be true/right/beneficial. Maybe Paul saw Batman Begins before he started writing letters ...
