you know, im not quite sure how to think of today so far.
i spent a lot of time on the phone, organising 'stuff'... and doing some work on my next assignment, but aside from that, nothing outstanding.
Tonight is Small Group again, so lets hope something pops up to make this day extra-ordinary, cause I wouldnt want to say I had a 'meh' day! :P
Ive just got two things to talk about now.
One is expanding on that subculture thing a little. (look down if you dont know what im goin on about! ^_^)
I think that being part of a subculture is a good thing. sure, as Nato said, you can go too far into a subculutre, but existing at the upper levels means that you can reach people within those cultures.
For example, if you are go to a mate who is a real bloke (everyone knows what i mean right?) and you start getting all intelligentsia on him, then anything you say to him he is just going to disregard, because you cant understand where he is coming from.
TO reach people with the Word, you have to understand them. To reach blokes, you have to be a bloke, lol... another example - especially in the gym culture, the ones who get the most respect are the ones who build their bodies up (not overload, but keep in shape). If you dont, then they wont take you as seriously. (obviously ive got a bit of a way to go! i swear ill fully get back into it in the holidays! ^_^)
Thats a big problem with certain Christians today. Its great to always fellowship with other believers, and its true that you can be a good influence on eachother, but if you stay within these groups, then what good are you doing for everyone who isn't a believer? get out there! ^_^
The second thing, is another girl issue! (sees everyone roll eyes) no no! come back! honselty! im just trying to get some perspectives here.
Ok, heres the scoop. last night while at the library at Uni, getting books for assignment, i run into this chick who my mate had had a brief fling/relationship thing with a year back. we are acquainted through History and Education, but dont see eachother very much. so we gets to talking, she gets my phone number, and then we are texting that night.
DOnt ask me how, but I now am going to the movies with her on Friday night. how do i get myself into these situations. All im worried about here, is that i hope its just a friend thing. i hope i hope. What do you guys reckon? am i safe? or am i being headhunted? :P
Oh, and just so there is no confusion, Philotas - as you may have guessed is not my real name! :D and it sounds nothign like my real name, just trying to keep some mystery and confidentiality from my mates here in Aus! :D
but If its easier, i will answer to Phil! ^_^
