hey

so this whole past week has been about finals. I haven’t slept since Monday, and its almost Thursday. That’s funny!

I have done good for far on my finals, I am even going to get a better grade in one of my classes than I thought, but in Choir, the teacher is giving everyone a B, not A’s .. I’m not sure why, but it bothers me.

Anyway. Um… the break is coming up, like the day after tomorrow- that’s pretty crazy. Friday is almost here, and then I have a short while until Christmas, and then shorter until Arizona, and then even shorter until next semester starts.

It’ll be good.

What else has been new? I washed my car, its been nice and sunny here for a while now. It hasn’t been raining much… at all. It is kinda weird because this is the rainy season.

I had an interesting conversation with someone at Dennys. His name was Rob, I was with two friends from school who wanted to talk to him. He was homeless- but openly was too prideful to check into any type of shelter. He believes in God, but believes that religion is a crutch for the weak. Like a psychiatric. He went to church for 17 and 1/2 years and he hates it with a passion. He believes that Christian artists (singers or writers) need to be real, and use cuss words if they really want to reach the un-reachable audience.

It was quite the interesting conversation, the whole time I sat back, and let my friends talk to him, because he was also Gay. I’m not homophobic or anything, but I didn’t want him getting any ideas. Everyone seems to have a ‘you can believe what you want’ rule about everything now adays, very post-modern.

I wasn’t going to get into any further debates with anyone.. I was debated out. I had just been discussing various things, (baptism, speaking in tongues) to name a few. Interesting to see peoples different view points and then also to see what the Bible says. I don’t form an opinion- I let the bible speak, and I re-affirm that.

So that was mainly the reason why I didn’t get to sleep last night – we didn’t leave Dennys until 4ish, and then he started telling me how I had a nice face, nice body and looked good too. Something about being a stud….

Yeah. Wowzers.

Anywho. I overall liked the experience. I like hearing what people have to say, and sometimes hearing and not responding is what needs to be done. Sometimes people need to vent. He did look like he was high on a number of different drugs – (this all while every so often his eyes would roll into the back of his head for a moment and then come back down)

You shoulda been there.

I hope to have more experiences like this one. And more debates- if it gets people thinking and searching.
