Saturday
The college small group at RBCPC started a Christian apologetics series. Ever since I first heard the Reasons.org segments on Spirit FM, my interest in how my faith and science complement each other has grown. The six-day creation is a significant issue. Ken’s theological perspective and his guest’s scientific perspective both say that one day of creation is symbolic for a period of time. I am not so sure that I agree, but am (as usual) open to thoughtful discussion.
Sunday
Caleb picked me up early for my first experience of RBCPC’s high school ministry (i.e. "The Highway"). After months of no volunteer activity, I am so excited to help the leadership of this fun group. Today was mostly Ken embarrassing me before I did the announcements, meeting people, forgetting all of their names, and observing the group’s dynamics.
Elaine picked me up for Simpsons’ Night at Caleb’s house. Basically, the college small group just meets again for fellowship during The Simpsons every Sunday night. We later went to Durphey’s to watch the first half of My Big Fat Greek Wedding. The rest of the movie is probably just as funny, but Elaine had to go home and I lacked wheels of my own.
Tuesday
The RBCPC high school group took Communion tonight. I do not like churches that perform Communion as a ritual. Tonight proved anything but. For the first time since moving away from Blue Ridge Community Church, Communion was the encounter and experience that it was intended to be when Jesus first started the preceding.
Thursday
I watched A. I. tonight. (Yes, I know the movie was released forever ago.) The movie performed horribly in theaters, but that is because most movie-goers are shallow and refuse to think. Spielberg = genius. One day, nearly all that we hold to be true will be ancient history. God will still be God and His truth will remain, but if the world is still around two thousand years from now, will the truth of Jeremiah Cohick’s life be relevant to matter? Everyone alive today will be like the people buried five generations ago that have no living relatives today who care to remember them or their lives. Rather depressing, but true.
Friday
After watching Are you Hot? via tape delay, I feel even more confident in not pursuing a talent agency for acting/m odeling. I am happy with my appearance and would not tolerate critical comments about inferior genetics.
