People are Interesting.

So I have 2 Art history classes. When I first found out I thought " NOOOOO!!!!! IM going to DIE!" but believe it or not, these are probably 2 of my favorite classes. Its interesting to listening to my teachers views on life, art, and religion. And since in the past art has been so inspired by religion, I get to hear their views on "Christianity". Its really interesting because what they say "Christians" believe is so off. It amazes me. It lets me see how powerfull art is, in how it has shaped peoples view of the bible, God, and what Jesus preached(o and dont forget the world). What they say is so amazingly off, I think to myself, "Should I say that that story is not in the bible? Should I tell him that David didnt fight Galieth because of a bet and because Galieth was a bully? Should I tell her that No where in the bible does it say that 'if you live a righteous enough life you'll sit at the right hand of God' Should I tell her that it actually says the opposite? Even if it did say that God would have to have alot of right sides." So it has fasinated me to get more insite into what people actually thing the word says. And not just street people but very well educated and "cultured" people. I just hope that If God does want me to say something he will give me the oppertunity to, and that I wont shy away from it. That if this oppertunity does come that I will embrace it with boldness. welp only time will tell.

All of this also makes me think; How do we live out the life style that Christ called us to live? What does that look like for me here in the context of philly, in the context of the art institute, in the context of 12th street gym (I think I'm the only straight guy in this gym. AWESOME!), and what does it look like at home and in my church? Im trying to figure this out. I think at times we all need to think and realign our selves to the life style of Christ. Not just the life style but most importantly to Christ himself.!

there you have it, people are very interesting.
