So we're having Christmas with my in-laws. They are an fun bunch of people. My wife is from a big homeschool family. She had a not-so-friendly parting of ways before she took off for college. Before we got married I wanted to make sure there was complete reconciliation between them and her. There was a conversation that definitely began the process. At least it got everyone comfortable with the wedding. Since then we've all become close.
Being a homeschool family there is a tendency towards the quirky, eccentric, and just plain odd. "The Majority" doesn't have anything to do with this family and this family has nothing to do with it. They are by no means products of their various generations. Although pop culture doesn't directly shape them, the attempt to avoid pop culture has motivated them to change some things that would otherwise be innocent. Does that make sense? Why let something that is morally-neutral be defined by the view of the masses rather than your own opinions? Why, while trying to separate ourselves from sin, do we oppress objects with our condemnation? If it turns out that Hitler loved to eat steak before he did evil things, does that mean I should enjoy steak any less? No way.
Should be a fun weekend. Three days not at work and with my wife and kid!
