The Bittersweet Paradox

After my flutter of recent blogging activity, I have found myself without impetus or inspiration lately.

So, here are some random thoughts milling through my head:

Hideaway Pizza--I love it and I'm eating it right now. I didn't pay for it. Perfect. I'm eating it with ranch dressing and that makes it even better than before, and more fattening, if either one is possible.

Legalism--I've been thinking about this a lot lately and how this plays into my own life. I think that without realizing it I have a streak of legalism in me. It seems as though I'm all about the shoulds and should nots sometimes. And I can kinda keep myself miserable trying to categorize things I do into one category or another. I think part of that comes from my personality type--more about that later. Anyway, I've been struggling with some decisions and if that my compulsion to make these decisions is compelled by my own legalism or by the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Right now, I can't really tell.

Personality Type--I've been strangely interested in this Myers-Brigg temperment stuff lately. I'm an ENFJ. Every description of this personality seems to fit me pretty closely. Even little idiosyncratic things about me that I thought were just me being weird are explained/described in a lot of these descriptions. It's cool to see. See that "J" at the end of my type?...It means "judging" which basically means that you like to have decisions made and life planned out, as well as having a list of rules to comply to. And then there's that whole legalism thing I've been thinking about...it seems as though some of that is personality driven, although I'm definitely not trying to justify my own imperfections by personality. It just helps explain it, I think.

Enough random mutterings...there's more Hideaway Pizza to be eaten:)
