Searching for God knows what

This is a blog created as an application, a search for dedication, mystery, and resolve to be more reflective and write more. That said, this will be a forum for my thoughts, my theological and philosohpical explorations, and might include snipets of creative projects: literary and otherwise.

Bible Study


So, let me just start by saying that traditionally, Bible study has been completely awful for me. Well not completely, say maybe 65% awful. I don't like kids very much. Well that's not true. I do like kids. It's my job to like kids. I guess what I don't like is hyper kids who don't really want to understand the bible. In groups. masses of sniveling kids with snotty noses who want to play with everything in sight and twirl in your lounge chair. I guess I don't like groups of kids. One on one they're great.

In anycase, Bible Study tonight was awesome. I invited all the kids over, but only like 4 of them came. We watched the Prince of Egypt, ate pizza and had some real fun. Then little pooh came over and just talked up a storm, revealing a lot of stuff in his life, like how his brother had died and he didn't understand suffering. We got a chance to share the gospel with him a little bit and urge him into a deeper maturity and understanding of God's grace. We pray that he knows God's love deeper. It was mostly awesome cause I had fun. Not that it's a prerequisite to God moving, but I think it helps. When we do things with joy, I think it frees up the Holy Spirit to move in more profound ways. Funny how that works.
