Update and The Christian Mind

So... this isn't my testimony yet. It will come. I'm pretty sure I have to write it up for a class in the next couple weeks anyway. For those of you who don't know, I got a job at KOHL's. YAY for clothes discounts! One of the guys who lives in the dorm was already working there and got me on. I'll be working app. 15 hours a week, which might be enough to kill me. hehe. The job at Starbucks just never panned out. I was sad, but this job pays more and there's possibility of medical insurance through KOHL's if I need it. I doubt it's as good as Starbucks, but oh well. My classes are intense, and I'm in Hebrew now which was an unexpected surprise. But anyway, I'll have money. For that I am thankful. Life is good but overwhelming! I read... all the time... and then read some more!

Also thought I'd share this excerpt from The Christian Mind by Harry Blamires with you guys. I'm reading so much, sometimes I have to stop and reflect on something... and this made me stop. "What price are we paying, in terms of intellectual clarity and integrity, for the continuance of easy co-existence of the Christian mind with the secular mind? Ponder the violence of the concealed collision. One the one hand is the assumption that all is over when you die; that after sixty or seventy years, sheltered and cushioned by the Welfare State, you can sign off for good; that eating, sleeping, growing, learning, breeding, and the rest, constitute the total sum of things; that in worldly prosperity and well-being lies the source of all meaning and value. On the other hand is the almost crushing awareness of a spiritual war tearing at the heart of the universe, pushing its ruthless way into the lives of men--stabbing at you now, now, now, in the impulses and choices of every waking moment; the belief that the thoughts and actions of every hour are moulding a soul which is on its way to eternity; that we are choosing every moment of our lives in obedience or disobedience to the God who created and sustains all that is; that we are always responsible, always at war, always involved in what is spiritual and deathless; that we are committing ourselves with every breath to salvation or damnation." 6:26 PM - 0 Comments - 0 Kudos - Add Comment - Edit - Remove
