Yep it's midnight again and here I am. Sure wish my brain would turn on in DAYLIGHT instead of midnight, oh wells. Be warned, cuz this is another "thinking" blog post. =] I was thinking about many things: my lesson coming up, relationships (hmm that deals with my lesson), the world today, blah blah blah. Also, had a really good conversation with a dear friend on IM. I came upon a word... so I decided to blog it.
Word for the day: ASSUMPTION: Something taken to be true without proof; presumptions or arrogance. WOW, I can I tell you that reading that definition really hit me? I never considered myself being ARROGANT when I assumed something, I actually figured myself naive. However, thinking about it, it's right. When you "assume" something you are arrogantly taking upon yourself what you "think" to be true, whether it is or not. WOW. Scary.
So before I came down to blog, I wrote my "journal" ha, I use it as a notebook, about things that "I" assume. Again, I am "assuming" that some of you may also have these idea's so I'm going to title it....
Assumptions or Beliefs?
When you say you love me........ I assume you mean it.
When you say that my family matters to you........ I assume they do and you won't
turn your back.
When we fight and you tell me not to turn away.......I assume that means that you
won't turn from me either.
When you are silent and not forthcoming........I assume I am in the wrong and wonder
why?
When you share your world with me..........I assume you want to be a part of mine.
When I am blessed with a sacred gift.........I assume the Lord wants me to nurture
it and watch it grow.
When you make promises........I assume your going to keep them, no matter what.
When I read too much into things............I assume I can no longer trust my own
deductions.
When you tell me I'm your friend........I assume all the responsibilities that go
with that and assume that you're doing
the same.
Hmm, When I go to bed...............I assume I will SLEEP!
Is it really WRONG to assume? are we arrogant or just too TRUSTING?

Depends on the context. The definition 'arrogance' to assumption can't be applied very accurately in all the situations. For example, if you assume falling off the bleachers will hurt, you aren't really being arrogant, just careful.
There are many definitions of assume or assumption. In a certain context, it can be arrogance, but most times, it is not. I would venture to say that most of the assumptions you stated are indeed not arrogance.
Kathee I always love reading your blog!! It always helps me feel better!! I keep forgetting to email you mine,
