I like reason. Many times I look at something someone has done that is based purely on emotion and I scoff. I tend to think people should take time to reason and think about the implications that a certain choice would bring. Two of my good friends have recently started dating someone and I was uneasy because of the short time they took to come to that choice. There is certainly some merit to that, but what I am here to say today is groundbreaking. The next sentence I am about to type is fairly amazing if you know me. I am wrong. I just had a realization that God laid on my heart, "Travis, I made emotions. It is okay to act upon them." Well, hot dang, maybe I'm on to something here. I firmly believe we were made in the image of God and that certain traits of humans are similar to traits in God's personality (God is seen as a person and only similar because of our fallen nature and His divine nature). See there goes the reason of The Vis again. So anyhoo, perhaps today my realization will allow me to learn how my reason and my emotions can go into choice making situations hand in hand. I guess we'll see. [Don't worry, no completely brash decisions will be made by The Vis anytime soon.]
