Today started out like a normal Thursday. I went to chemistry, didn't understand most of it, and I start walking to the bus. On a pretty busy section of campus where a lot of people walk, there's a guy holding a sign that says "Give Jesus a chance to love you". I thought, "well, that's nice" but then I realize he's shouting things. I'm listening to my mp3, so I am kinda nervous to hear what he's saying. So, I take my earphones out and he's going on about how people don't care for anyone but themselves and I think, "well maybe that's not too bad." But, I'm walking to the bus and I hear these 2 guys talking about how they think he's crazy and annyoing and what kind of church would he be from? And I start to think that maybe this was not the best way for him to go about proclaiming Christ's love for everyone. Also, when I'm on the bus, a girl behind me is talking about the situation and she's says that they don't even look approachable, they just look scary and ridiculous. (apparently I missed the other person). And I hope that maybe they are reaching out to people, but it seems to me that he's pushing more people farther away than when they began. And we were just talking about this in class yesterday, about how one group of people can do so much damage to what they're representing. Like, there's a man in GA who stepped down from his leadership position in a large church because he hired a gay man to give him massages and he bought meth from him, but threw it away. This does not help our case at all! and ya, everyone makes mistakes and even though all sin is counted the same, it's not looked at like that in the world. I know that God is working through the situation on campus, but I just hope that it doesn't push more away. So, yes there's my post for today.. :) have a nice day!
