Well, today my husband finally admitted that we are both abnormal.. YAY! I was a bit shocked
but pleasantly so
So, what is normal exactly? Are you normal?
How do we really tell what normal is?
What is a 'normal' Christian?
And is being a 'normal' Christian a good thing?
Didn't Watchman Nee write a book called the "The Normal Christian life" or something....think I remember a friend telling me about it.
What do you think?

To define normal is easy:
nor·mal
ˈnôrməl/Submit
adjective
1.
conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected.

synonyms: usual, standard, ordinary, customary, conventional, habitual, accustomed, expected, wonted; More
2.

noun

As an example, what is normal for a human?
To answer that you need to be specific as to WHAT PART of being human you are referring.
Biologically speaking, for example, the norm for humans in the sexual sense is Heterosexuality.

Normal?
Who knows?
We are all individuals. Just like everybody else.

There is what is normal for the individual and what is normal for the group/species.

I'm abnormal, so that must mean there's a normal somewhere.

Unfortunately, your abnormality is the new normal.

Woohoo! I'm normal!
I'm sure this is a good thing, but I've read too many of your posts and normal doesn't scratch the surface
. In fact that kind of insight you bring to the table is rare, so abnormal
may foot the bill.
Either way, normal or not, by definition or not, K ... Woohoo! you're a keeper we all abnormally appreciate.
