Death By Love – Chapter 6 Questions
Tyler Sharron
1. When I grow older and marry, I obviously wish to be a loving, faithful, merciful father who is a great example for my children. This question is definitely not one which I could write a whole paragraph about, so I’m just going to keep it at this.
When disciplining your children, I personally cannot give an accurate perspective on the punishments to be received. I kinda feel like corporal punishment may be a little harsh to a certain extent. I’ll most likely just end up doing what my parents did. It worked for me.
2. I agree completely with this statement. God is perfect and he is not to act like our father on earth. Our earthly father is very imperfect compared to God, therefore we cannot compare them. Our earthly father should be compared to God, because as Christians, we are supposed to live like our heavenly father, ‘least try.
This makes me inspired. When I am older, and I get married and become a father, I wish to compare myself to God, so that I can see my shortcomings. That is the way all fathers should try to run their homes.
3. Propitiation is atonement or an atoning sacrifice, specifically, the influence or effects of the death of Christ in appeasing the divine justice, and conciliating the divine favour. Propitiation is used as a tool to appease wrath and conciliate the favour of an offended person, in our case, God.

First Date
So, Casper and I went on our first date yesterday! Exciting stuff. I surprised her and picked her up from her house while she was doing homework yesterday night (I just got my G2 on April 3rd, 2009), but I didn't really have a plan where to take her. So, she, in her pajamas, came with me and we went to McDonalds by the Tunnel and got sundays. Then we went to the riverfront, parked and ate our sundays and just talked. Then we went for a walk by the river in the cold and rain/snow and regardless of how crappy the weather was, I had a great time. We just sat on a bench and talked about so much stuff. I just love talking to her and spending time with her. I'm really happy that things are finally working out. I never want to make her not trust me or feel uncomfortable around me, and I never want to pressure her into anything, so as time goes, I hope and pray that things will just smooth over. It was such a great night...

Spiritual High
I hope this is not just a bright spiritual phase in my life that will be short lived. I've been praying and reading my Bible often lately, as well as approaching everything with a fresh, positive attitude, abstaining from lustful thoughts and actions, and just overall building better relationships with people.
I feel like a new person. I've been developing an inclination for playing worship music, while rigorously exercising my guitar technicality as well. Also, I've been further developing my vocal skills as well. I want sooo badly to be an amazing singer, as well as a brilliant guitar player.
To be continued...
I gotta go to bed. Work tomorrow morning.

Heya
Haven't written since June. Crazzyyy!
The missions trip was fun. Lots of new relationships, lotsa fun, and lots of self-identification. I recognized alot of my failures and shortcomings, along with alot of my strengths. I wish to go back for at least one more time before I consider anywhere else. Some unfinished business I have to take care of. And to the reader, if you've never been on a missions trip, I strongly recommend it!
Well, since June and the missions trip, things went down with Casper. Alot of it was my fault, some hers. Actually I can't even really say who's fault it was, in any fairness. It just went down. It's an extremely long and unnecessary story, were I to recap since June, so I won't. Point being, I didn't think it would ever happen.....but good news.......
.......I was right! Sure it went down for a while, but things are going very very well as I write to you write now. I'm starting it over with a different approach. I'll move at her pace, and be her friend and supporter to the best of my ability, especially since University is just around the corner for her. Sometimes I wish I was her age. We would be more equalized on more things, I would be able to drive her places (just a few more months!!!). Plus, I know it has to be difficult for her to like a boy a year younger than her. It doesn't happen often, you know?
Man, alot of stuff has happened in the past few months. I read my previous posts, and alot of them sound really, really retarded. Haha. In other news, I'm just about an honour roll student in school (Comp. Engineering, Anthro/Soc/Psych, Bio, and Law), I'm playing guitar in a musical at my school (HSM 1) and a musical at my church (I think it's called "The Christmas shoes). I'm still playing/leading at youth (Jr. and Sr. high), playing Sunday mornings at church, and I'm writing more songs lately.
Anyways, more updates to come, hopefully.
I'm writing a song currently. But not just any song. A song I'm so far proud of. A heartfelt song. One where I actually like the lyrics that I wrote, which is very rare.

Marathon of ____
June 24th, 2008, I hosted a Lord of the Rings Marathon at my house. It was really cool! We watched all three of them. We started at 1:00pm and went until 2-2:30ish. It was really cool. There was alot of swimming, hanging out, eating, talking, relaxing, and movie watching with all of my favourite people. Casper was there too, and man that night was awesome.
Once the third movie came on, Casper had already snuck my birthday present in my room. So I went in during the movie to open it. It was really cool. As childish as it sounds, she and her amazing cousin, let's call her Hertzmyster, got me a Build-a-Bear with an acoustic guitar, Converse chucks, and sunglasses. I don't even care if it's childish, I think it's freakin' sweet. Anyways, so at one point she went to get up to go outside or something with her friend, SG. So as she walked by I kind of pulled her into my room and said thanks and all that. Then we went outside and layed on my road and looked at the stars. Just the two of us. It was awesome. We had some nice discussions about liking each other, school, future, etc. Such a valuable time with her.
Then we went back in and watched the movie for the next few hours. We were laying on the floor together. At one point we got pretty close. I was gently stroking her hands and holding them and all that. So many times we just got to lay there and look into each others eyes. I got to tell her how beautiful she is and she told me how much she likes me, how cute I am, and how I'm a keeper. We talked a bit about possibly dating and all that. It was really nice. I took her hand and brought her fingers to my lips and gently kissed them. These conversations roughly followed:
#1
Casper- "You really like kissing my fingers, don't you?"
Tyler- "Mmm. When do I get to kiss you?"
Casper- "I dunno. I've never kissed a boy before."
Tyler- "It's not hard, but it's very special. The only thing you have to really think about is that you're going to have to say for the rest of your life that I was your first kiss."
Casper- "Yeah, true. That's not a bad thing. I'm pretty sure you'll be my first kiss. Does that make you feel special?"
Tyler- "Extremely."
Casper- "Good, because you are special."
#2 (Ps. These wonderful intimate times are often spread apart by monthly intervals)
Casper- "You know this probably won't happen again for a long time."
Tyler- "(Sadly) Yea, I know. It sucks. But maybe it's better in small doses."
Casper- "Yeah, maybe. Makes it more special. Do you think it's wierd that we have siblings in the room?"
Tyler- "A little bit. I think they're old enough to get it. Lol."
For those on the edge of your seat, no we did not brush lips. I'm willing to be as patient as I have to be. But Casper, (8) I just can't wait to call you mine! (8). She's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ouch
Sunday June 15th, 2008. What a night. Party at the Gray's house after Sr. Youth. It was pretty sweet. Some nice chilling' out, swimming, chatting, all that good stuff. Casper was there and we were joking around and talking and stuff and it was a really fun time. Suddenly, out of nowhere, God (I'm pretty sure it was God) smacked me in the face with some of my biggest faults all at once. It was literally breathtaking in the worst way possible. This kid, TV let's call him, started playing the piano, and he's amazing because he has been playing forever. Everyone is like, "TV, you're so amazing!" Normally this, in all truthfulness, would not bother me. I don't play piano much, so I didn't really care. Then he grabbed a guitar and started playing. Now (please, as cocky as this sounds, try to understand why I'm saying this), he's openly admitted to not being as skilled as me on guitar, and seriously, he isn't. But then he started playing this song called "Drifting" by Andy McKee that he can play a couple lines from, but it sounds really cool. So everyone was crowding around and they're all like, "OH, you're soo good! That's amazing!", and all that. That's when I started flipping (on the inside that is. I never, ever let that stuff show on the outside.) Thank God my mom called and told us it was getting late and it was time to come home. I wanted to scream!
So my bro and I finally left, but then Casper and my buddy CJ needed rides, so we took them. I'm totally cool with that because Casper's amazing, and CJ is a favourite. So we're driving home and they're all talking, and at one point, Casper said something like, "Haha, I never knew DDS (my brother) was soo funny." I knew she wasn't like hitting on him or anything, but you know how it is when you like a girl (like crazy in this case) and they talk like that about another guy. And it's even worse when it's your brother who is her age, he drives, and I know he used to like her. So at this point I'm like dying. Then they started talking about the Casino and everything, and Casper says to my brother, "DDS, we should go to the Casino buffet when we're 19. I hear it's really nice." Ohh, dear God, kill me! Seriously, I think I would've rather jumped out of the moving car than stay for the rest of that drive. So that night sucked. Because of it, I could barely sleep all night, I was dead tired the next day at school, my head hurt all day long.
Then to make it even worse, during lunch at school, this really good guitar player at our school got to set up his amp during lunch in the atrium and just shred, and it was a featured event? What the heck is that? And everyone gathered around and they're like, "Man, he's good, eh?" He is better than me, but still. How come I never get asked to do these things? Even when they have special live music for events, no one ever asks us. I don't know, it was just really frustrating.
As a result, unless it's for youth, church, or a gig, I'm not gonna play guitar in front of people anymore. I've obviously got some pride and jealousy issues to deal with, so maybe I'll just stay in my room all the time, practice guitar until I get unbelievable, and then go off to music school, forget about everything here, and make a career off being an amazing guitar player/teacher. Sounds good to me.
