What if…?

October 16, 2007

Here’s one that may be simply answered by someone who knows much more about the Bible and biblical times than I.

When Jesus said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” (and likewise with the cup.) What if he was simply meaning to remember Him at every meal, which of course means constantly since someone like me is always eating. =)

or was He saying to remember Him in everything we do, keeping a pure heart when celebrating with the church (eating the bread and drinking of the cup…of Christ.) Like in 1Corinthians 11.

Just a side note: I’m not trying to point out a “wrong” of the church or change it in any way. I love some of the traditions like this, knowing that people have done it for so long. kwim? Just a thought I’ve had for a while.

High School Reunion

October 8, 2007

My 10 yr reunion was this weekend. I had a great time! I really enjoyed some of my high school friends, though I’m glad I grew up. =) It was interesting seeing the different groups meet up again. Who shocked me the most were some of the girls I used to party with. You know the cheerleader type, pretty, popular girls. (Don’t know why they let me join them, but they did.) Anyway, I was shocked to find out that alot of them are not married! Most had great jobs in Los Angeles, Boston, and in between, but it made me realize how different our perception of success is. (And I had to laugh that they all got ready together at the same house. “Social central,” as one put it.) I guess I just assumed that all the pretty ones would be taken by now.

Sometimes I felt like I was back in high school/college. The “party” was moved from the football game to the Chili’s bar at halftime. I thought we would be getting to catch up on things, not get drunk together. Anyway, most of the people there were not drunk, and I did have a great time. Everything was put together sooo well! From the semi-formal dinner and dance to the moonwalk and the flowers on the table at the picnic. The host made everyone feel welcome.

OK, I’m sleepy. I guess that’s all.
