i think i got honked at for being cute last night while i was waiting for the light to turn green at golf and mccormick.

i can only recall a couple of times where me or someone i know was hit on while driving, and it's one of those things that you're not really sure how to feel afterwards... i mean it's flattering, but you can't help but wonder, what kind of guy would hit on a girl while driving? probably not a very good one.

last night two people that i've both known for two years who are not christians started asking me spiritual questions. i've been waiting for this opportunity for quite some time. i realize that faith can be a very touchy subject with a lot of people, particularly when you think what you have is RIGHT and therefore something else must be wrong. most people don't like other people THINKING they are wrong, and certainly don't want to be TOLD that they are wrong. and so i have been biding my time, really wanting just to establish credibility with these people as someone who loves them and also as someone who has not just adopted the tenants of someone else's faith, but rather has mulled over the same questions and objections that they have and come to some reasonable conclusions.

i realized last night as i was listening and answering a few questions, that although i know only a fraction of the tiniest part of all there is to know, i am definitely more equipped to have intelligent spiritual, ethical, and philosophical conversations with inquiring post-modern minds than i was two years ago. it felt really good to feel like i really had a grasp on what it was that i was talking about. and, what's a million times better than that feeling, was the feeling that what i was able to share may have DONE something.

thanks bible college. thanks chris ullman.
