The reason being...Nothing significant has happened this week. Ok, maybe that's not true, it will come to me as I write. That's pretty much the way it works with these blogs.
For starters, this week was the Intro to Theology I class with Jim Paulson. My favourite prof so far, I even demonstrated this favour with a techie prank. ie, playing a cellphone ring through the sound system in the class room with AirTunes. He couldn't figure out what was happening! It definitely deserves a repeat with the next profs. Jim was also very quotatious, for example:
That’s my quick and dirty on doing theology
Are there demons in your projector?
It’s not an undigested piece of beef
There are times in my life I think I should go apologize to China
To China, I’m sorry, if I goofed up your nation, I’m sorry
I’ve never seen the movie Natural Born Killers, but I’d like to build off the title of that movie
Yeah, good times. I'm gonna miss that guy. As for the class, I don't really have much to say. I figured out that I'm much more of a theology nut than I thought I was. All thanks to my youth pastor Bernd. The majority of the class was spent with the Calvinism vs. Arminian debate. According to the definitions in class, I used to be a hardcore Calvinist but now I'm not so sure. This class has made me even more confused about my relationship with God because I'm learning how much I don't know about him. Just when I thought I had him figured out, he became much more complicated. But this is a good thing because now I want to figure these things out on my own, I want to find out who God really is and shatter all the stupid assumptions that I have made about him in the past. It has made me much more excited to get to know him.
I am still a little worried about the future, but much less so than last week. I have explored a few possibilities and I still haven't found one that sticks out to me. I like the idea of having a job that I am constantly learning something. The thing I am scared of most about my future job is it being boring, monotonous or without a future. I am quite comfortable with trusting God and I am learning to let go.
The Olympics are almost here! I will be sending out a weekly email so if you would like to recieve it, just let me know. Please continue to pray for the preparation of this trip. Some specifics for the Kaleo group are sleeping and showering arrangements, health concerns, and nervousness.
Thanks for your continued support, I really do appreciate it!
