Well it would seem that I locked myself out of my room and for some reason the RA is not around. Things are winding down in Dawson Creek, I'm starting to say goodbye to people that I'll probably never see again. It's not like other final farewells though, I don't think I've spent this much time with friends and then just left for good. Sam is opposed to me leaving, I think he wants at least one blood relative around. Travis says he is following me to Winnipeg in the fall, I'll believe it when I see it. This tuesday also marks my final bible study with the group here, twice they thought other times were my last. I'm in a very rminiscent mood and probably will be until I leave. Meh

I apolagize for the lack of posts lately. It's just too nice outside and well, all my posts would lean towards my anxiousness to go home. I leave on friday the 22nd at approx. 5 o'clock. My estimated arrival would be early morning on the 24th. I faced a little persecution today, one of my classmates said that christians were like soldiers in how we sing and sit in rows. She also said we look mindless sitting in our pews. I'll admit call to worship readings are a little wierd. I almost tore a strip off of her but I just stayed calm. It worries me that the only response I could think of was to tear her down. I guess I need to work on responding in love. What would your response be? She is a difficult person to talk to without bringing up religion. Oh well back to studying.

Opinions Wanted

Alright, has christianity become too secular? Does our worship, culture and lifestyle set us apart from the world? Let me elaborate, when a preacher says something like, " maybe potifers wife was getting any" do we recoil or do we take accept the statement without so much as a flinch. For example; christian hip hop is getting revolutionary, there is no way it would be mistaken for the secular crunk. The lyrics are deep, hopeful and accurate to the bible. The bible tells us to be separated from the world. We are called to be dead to the world. I think personal discression is nescessary if what we do causes another believer to stumble it is better to avoid that thing. I realize the braodness of this topic, it goes all the way from alcohol consumption to contempary worship. Please share an experince or opinion on the matter.
