Zeus, Zion, and Zealots
Dinner with Sayre last night. Ran into him randomly at the HUB, sat down to have dinner with him.
Interesting conversation there; he's working like crazy.
Was impressed by his knowledge of the crazy history of the world. There is so much awful stuff that happens everyday.... He has an extensive knowledge of Greek and Roman gods.
At the Russian:
Connected with several of the newer girls, and an older friend, Madeline, who was relating to me how she was tricked into going to a bible study once with a "friend" who told her that she was going to hell, and then stopped being her friend when she told her that she wasn't interested in going to church.
Kind of sad. I think that honest open dialogue is much more effective. When do you just "give up" on somebody? Is this Christ-like to say, "I don't need you in my life?"
I can understand if that somebody is attacking your church/beliefs/family and trying to tear you down (the need to keep a safe distance from them to protect yourself), but I don't ever think it's justifiable to just "drop" somebody from your life simply because they don't believe in the same thing that you do and they're not attacking you....
