my heart is being made new

well i should be writing a paper for ministry to children.. but i really cant get in the mood and decided just to write a little and maybe the writing in general will spark my interest to buckle down and do it!… we will see i suppose.

Well i was in survey of denominations on friday and something that my professor said really spoke to me…

he gave us this example for a topic of conversation for The Holy Movement..

So you are at this football game and the marching band comes out on the field and begins to do their routine… and all of sudden the whole band goes right and one person goes left… automatically you assume that one person is in the wrong… they made the mistake and messed the whole thing up.. but what if u change the point of view… what if that one person was right… and the rest of the group forgot and were in the wrong..

i dont know really how to explain it.. but that image is burned into my mind… just that in a case like that that one person gets the brunt of it all… but how do u really know if they arent the person who got it right?

What would have happened if that was the case.. what would our reaction be? How would the “crowd” respond?

Another challenging question would be could u have the courage to be that one person? Or would you buckle under the pressure and follow the group that was wrong… just to make it seem all of you were in the right…

well i will leave it at that. who knows if this blog will make me in a better mood to write.. but if nothing else i hope it leaves you in a pondering state about the questions proposed above.
