Class was awesome... the presentations ranged from being totally cool to... "is their five minutes up, yet!"
One guy explained Jesus and bubbles together... totally blown away by his presentation and found it interesting. Basically every bubble ever made, tries to be a prefect sphere and looks like one to the untrained eye. In reality, the bubble isn't a sphere at all, what we see is water and soap "trying" to make a perfect circle. Even when you wave it around and the bubble jiggles, it still goes back to it's original form, the "look-a-like" sphere. All in All, the bubbles represented us... the Christians trying to fulfill the "I Am's" found in The Sermon on the Mount. No matter how hard we try... we'll never be prefect. So only by the Grace of God can we really be saved.
It was really good presentation. Actually this guy (I don't know his name... I call him "Hun"... this where my pet names get me in trouble) He works with bubbles and will trying to break the World Gensis record here in a couple of weeks by making theBiggest Bubble. He invited me to go and see. I think Mylah will love this.
Then Darin... My country Hill-Billy Jock... I totally dig this guy and he makes me laugh. Actually if it wasn't for Darin and Art... I don't think this class would of been as much fun. These guys are a riot. Anyways... Darin got up and said something that just talked wonders into my life. He gave his testimony about his relationship with his dad and how it wasn't that great but was now facing the reality that his dad only has a couple days... weeks... months to live. So Darin asked out loud to the class, (A) do I keep this locked up emotions I hold against my dad forever until he apologizes or (B) buck it up, hash it out and move on with his to make more amazing memories before dad passes on? Before anyone could answer...Darin told the class that he dealt with issues with dad and that he learned from this moment... That keeping tension - anger - issues locked up in your soul... is like poison to your "amazing and loving" memories you hold for that person. With each day you hate that person and each day you hold anger towards them... you lose one more amazing memory you shared and kept close to your heart.
Even though Darin... felt a little ridicules about sharing his testimony with a bunch of people he didn't know. I told him, you know... "I think God just used you to talk to a lot of people in this room. Being real and showing your "human" side talks more wonders to people then reciting any research scholars key terms."
Then my presentation... I got my paper done one hour before heading into class and the amazing Steven from Santa Barbara, who I owe BIG... proofread it for me so I felt confident with my topic and paper. Thank you, Stephen .
Anyways...
I got up there and rocked... talked about prayer, gave my testimony about Andy and his family's involvement in my life. Then shared my deepest secrets and sins with the class. Even though they laughed a lot because I can't seem to take humor out of anything I do... after I got done. I realized that my whole class, even Art was looking at me and comprehending what I was saying. I actually talked with confidence and knew my topic inside and out. You know how I know this... it was when heard my teacher in the back go... "hmmmm, never thought of that!"
That was awesome and made me think I would really like to be a speaker someday like Joyce Meyers or one of those preaching types! Maybe that's my calling, who knows... only time will tell.
One last thing that was brought to my attention... the resurrection... It's real... how do I know this... Had Jesus really not risen from the dead and it was a figment of everyone's imagination. Don't you think the Romans would of just paraded Jesus' dead corpse down the city center and crushed all rumors. That to me... was something that made me got... WOW, I never thought of that!
