You might be thinking to yourself, "hey Nathan, why so serious?" I say, because this is some serious business that we're talking about.
Well, actually, first thing I figured today is that I am in need of an acoustic guitar. I have my electric, which I don't think I will ever get rid of, but I realized that I will need one an acoustic before I go out to pursue my life. Not only will it probably be needed for bible college, but for more of a leading purpose as well. I am not someone that is skillful enough to be able to sing and play lead guitar at the same time; it just doesn't work like that. This is just a case of my wishful thinking, but I am going after a Taylor, haha.
Okay, it's business time. I do not understand how some people, some church regulars, people that have made declarations of their faith to Christ, believe that school is important enough that it is worth skipping church for. I just don't understand the logic behind it. School is so important that you would rather do that instead of worshipping your creator, your saviour. Church only lasts a few hours each week, and school or work usually takes up the rest of it. Out of however many hours there are in a week, all that is being asked is a few of them to go to church instead of doing your school work. I just do not believe it; I can't understand why you would even consider skipping church to do homework or study and it drives me mad. I may be overreacting, or I may not be, but it really offends me to find out that someone is skipping church to stay home to "study". Where in the world did it cross your mind that school should be placed before God?
If you're at home but still take the time to do some reflection or devotion or something of that sort, then it's still fine, but I highly, highly doubt that most people who don't go to church do that. I understand that procrastination is a dick and we usually find ourselves guilty of not doing the work required to be able to go to church on sunday and be able to go home afterwards and have enough time to do the rest, but that is our own fault and we should pay the price for it. I never have all my work done by Sunday morning, but I know my own faults and I suck it up and still go to church and deal with the lack of time later.
It makes me really angry, and I cannot seem to translate it all into words, but I am not pointing at anyone specific, it is just something that I've seen multiple times and it drives me crazy each time to see someone skip church so they can finish their homework or studying. I am sorry if I have offended anyone, but I am just speaking my mind, and I need to get some anger out before another boring week starts =D
It's another new week, here goes nothing.
