So what am I to do, maybe having a "Strategery" isn't the answer. It didn't work so well for the other guy.

I need a "Strategery" for faith
Sometimes I believe I need a new "Strategery" for my faith. To make a long story short I see a lot of holes in my faith, but I don't know which ones to address. I would love to address them all, but it doesn't seem possible. Often the thing that is important to me isn't always important to someone else. The temptation in this world is to be ok with our differences and accept it as individual faith, but that seems anthetical to true community. So I can't take that route.

God please rescue me!
From the San Antonio Spurs and that horrible brand of basketball...
Now I have to root for Kobie and Lakers, it is like choosing between Bush and Kerry in 2004. No winners!
Pray that the Celtics, I can't believe I just said that...the Celtics make the finals. Other wise for the 3rd time in this Century, which is only 8 years old we'll suffer through another Spurs/Pistons series.

Survivor Frustration

I admit it...I watch Survivor. I am a loyal follower since the reruns of season one during those first summer months. I guess we all have our guilty pleasures. For some it is chocolate, for others egomaniacal foreign policy and still others it is a stupid T.V. show under the reality tag where most of plot is unscripted fiction.
Why am I frustrated? Simple. I never believe the person who wins should win. It started in Season 2 with Colby and Tina, it continued last night. There is little reason for how the departed survivors vote during the final tribal council. One season all the departed are bitter at the masterful power player in the final two or three and they give the million dollars to the hanger on who just got lucky and went for a ride. Other seasons the departed seem to look beyond their bitterness and see the strategy and skill in the more ruthless player of the final group, so they give the million dollars to that person.
Last night it was Parv, a ding bat Georgia fan. They are TRASH! Sorry, my Auburn colors coming out a bit. I must give her credit she crafted an all womens allaince and held it together. This was a first for Survivor. The ladies normally turn on each other. Without a doubt she played a skillful game and made quick and decisive decisions. Well, done!
Her counter part, Amanda, played this game with as much integrity as possible. She didn't lie to anyone out right and she was punished because she seemed to sincerely struggle over the decision of Cirie vs. Parv. Though her tribal council break down was a bit much!
All in all, it came down to the departed. Next season Amanda in the same role might win because everyone in the role Ozzie, Jason, Alexis, etc...(the people with a knife in their back)would be mad that Parv stuck that knife in their back. This season however, Parv got the million. The departed seemed to appreciate her style and awarded her a handsome check for her efforts.
Amanda, my only thought is sometimes it is best not to show the world your inner turmoil. It was a tough decision, but come on now. You did have immunity!
