Where's your head at???

All right, I don't know is it's what I'm "learning" as much as things I've been thinking about: Does morality change? My first reaction was "No, of course not. Right and wrong are pretty much set in stone." Then, during the sermon this past Sunday I started thinking. Claude raised "moral" issues when it comes to voting, like the age of sexual consent, polygamy and same sex marriage. These are all issues that Christians tend have strong opinions, but wasn't the marriagable age of young girls as low as 12? (this is a rhetorical question, I know full well it was) Don't most of the Old Testament patriarchs have multiple wives? (again, yup). So why do we in 2006 say it's "immoral" for someone to have multiple spouses or have sex with someone who's 14 when it wasn't in the Bible?

what have you been learning lately???

for me, love has been really pervading my thoughts, if it wasn't already evident on sunday. i'm still praying to understand it more. imagine if we understood love in it's most real of senses.
