Response from Victoria

Victoria wrote this comment in response to my fiery rant post. I think she makes some good points so I thought that I would post it as it’s own blog entry:

No offense Brian but you say dumb stuff even when ur not around a bunch of christian guys, and yes its great that many of us that go to plunge and all the other christian events are christians (big surprise) we can never take in enough I find but we should also give as well as much as possible so we do not become to spiritually “fat”! Yes many christians go to christian events to learn and grow and let what was said have an impact on the way we live our daily lives, thats just it its should have an affect effect? on our daily lives and how we treat everyone around us and hopefully what we have learned will have a positive effect on the people around us and let them know we are not just the sterotype christians like Ned Flanders off the Simpsons. Just because we may know lots of stuff about God and Jesus and getting more (theological)? doesn’t mean we have to just know the facts and stop there we have to teach others and not let all of our knowledge get to our heads we need to be there for people love people as Christ loves them and introduce others to Christ. We need to put into practice what we have learned from all those Christian meetings and Bible studies and helping out with different Christian events into our daily lives. There is the whole world to reach and you can do that at the same time as learning, While I’m at Dorion working and I learn from devotions and prayer meetings and everything else I let those things impact my daily life and then at the same time witness to the campers. Or at tribe I’m learning from the speaker at the same time the kids are and I try as soon as possible to help the kids understand and put what I’ve learned from volunteering at tribe into practice so I can witness to the kids better. There is so much time, like we have a joke that I’m multi-tasked, remember? This is what I would call being multi-tasked. This might sound really harsh and mean and sounds like I’m saying I’m really good at doing this kinda thing, but I’m not I sometimes forget that it’s not all about me, and I wanna go to these things to make new friends but I have to remember that it’s not all about me it’s about learning yes and to a point making friends but also growing with them and learning with them and witnessing to others and not getting spiritually “fat” and helping others to grow and praying for people and loving people over everything else. And I hope that helps answer a few questions for people and all I’m saying is it’s not all about us, which sux for many people cause I know thats what humans think of most of the time, and I know its a harsh reality to face, but I just hope everyone learns that sooner rather than later. And I hope I at least made some sense!
