expressions of freedom

i'd just like to point out that i have a right as a canadian to wake up at 5:30 and shout at the top of my voice if i want. i see daylight creeping around the window edges and it would be a shame to waste valuable singing time.
[dad says: joel, my son, "everything is permissable ... but not everything is beneficial 1Cor 6:12]

don't you just hate it when pastors take little bits of scripture and throw them into conversation to make a point? they so often miss the context of how the words are written.
[dad also says: honour your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you Ex20:12]

and it then says "do not murder" Ex 20:13, dad, and didn't Jesus develop the do not murder thing and say something about "anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment" Matt 5:21-22
[dad says: but you went to sleep at 11:00pm, woke us 3 times during the night, and then did the 5:30 thing, and you've done it for a few nights now, and you're waking uncle greg and auntie andrea whose room is right above your shouting spot]

i like singing, you and mom taught me to do it.
[i like your singing too, if you could delay it till after coffee number one, then the world is a happy place]

with which there was great reconciliation and true depth of forgiveness, repentance and a commitment to turning away from our bad habits. sharing over a coffee/milk, joel was heard to say, "i'm sorry dad" "i'm sorry too son". "i forgive you for your murderous thoughts". "and i forgive you for your shouting".

i'm feeling a little tired, i think i may have a nap.
[and that's a cruel luxury afforded an 8 month old, that his parents can only daydream of]
