According to me that is. <BR/><BR/>I will blog again one day, when I come to face the decision on whether or not to come back on Beach Mission.B.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07672554858290351464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37068033.post-81375455453409776932007-04-11T12:18:00.000+10:002007-04-11T12:18:00.000+10:00Go ahead and point out any flaws you want to, it d...Go ahead and point out any flaws you want to, it doesn't sound arrogant to me. I've grown up with beach mission, so I probably have quite a different view of it than you do, and I like to hear what others think.<BR/>In fact, you should blog about it, maybe, keyword.<BR/>Maybe there are a lot of things that not only you feel are flaws, I could point out some myself, but I would probably go into people more than beach mission itself, but beach mission is run by people, therefore, any flaws are the faults of humans. Anyway, maybe there are some things that can be changed about beach mission, if we all keep quiet then nothing will ever happen.some girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01652311994179275982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37068033.post-6204789222894377782007-04-11T12:12:00.000+10:002007-04-11T12:12:00.000+10:00Maybe is a great philosophical tool.

It lets you express possibilities without being adamant of one thing, and getting you into trouble.<BR/><BR/>I feel reservation about only having been at Beach Mission once, and instantly pointing out flaws and wanting to change the entire thing. It seems like arrogance to me. However, it is also the reason why I am feeling reservations about coming back.. because there were quite a few things that severely irritated me about it too. I think they conflict with what I believe in.B.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07672554858290351464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37068033.post-9492113687982775102007-04-11T12:10:00.000+10:002007-04-11T12:10:00.000+10:00I do see where you're coming from.Prererhaps (Ahh,...I do see where you're coming from.<BR/>Prererhaps (Ahh, dyslexia!) it's somthing that can be changed, with beach mission, beach mission is really quite old, and traditional in some respects, maybe it's about time there was a change in that. The world changes, why shouldn't beach mission? Maybe even you could bing about this change. Talk to Mr. Directorial?<BR/><BR/>I think I'm still in the go-into-the-world-but-with-people-you-feel-safe-with area, maybe I should change that? I think it may take a while, but I'm not quite confident enough to just go... but maybe it's not about confidence... maybe it's about faith and other such stuff. Once again, am I making sense? I say maybe alot.some girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01652311994179275982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37068033.post-29195173757935097742007-04-11T11:58:00.000+10:002007-04-11T11:58:00.000+10:00Don't get me wrong.

It's not the best of worlds for me. Some stuff is that sometimes, it looks like we just took a Christian community, and moved it to the beach. It seemed that we got a lot more out of team than we did out of serving, and I think that we lost the focus of Beach Mission a bit in that. <BR/><BR/>Going out into the world, but going with lots of people you feel safe with, then staying in that safety area, means you haven't really gone far at all. <BR/><BR/>Controversial yes. But it's truth to me.B.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07672554858290351464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37068033.post-79548251729729254462007-04-11T11:52:00.000+10:002007-04-11T11:52:00.000+10:00Hmm.... no.In a way, yes, the Church I think is a ...Hmm.... no.<BR/><BR/>In a way, yes, the Church I think is a vital part of Christianity.<BR/>But I don't mean, church as a building you go to every Sunday and talk about God, I believe in more of a community of other Christians who you can learn from and teach, and build each other up.<BR/>I think it's a very important foundation of Christianity, but I also think that we need to go out into the world... like beach mission, but that's sorta the best of two worlds.<BR/><BR/>Am I explaining correctly?some girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01652311994179275982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37068033.post-4614692181981820852007-04-10T14:42:00.000+10:002007-04-10T14:42:00.000+10:00It's not really what I wrap myself up in, because ...It's not really what I wrap myself up in, because I still know it's Easter, and what Easter is really about. I just don't get excited about it. And I'm not that excited about Christianity all the time. Just know I enjoy doing stuff involving it. And yes. Church is not the home of revelations. Should it even be the home of Christianity?B.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07672554858290351464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37068033.post-26868007631772856752007-04-09T19:50:00.000+10:002007-04-09T19:50:00.000+10:00And I am amused at 123.Sometimes the clock is 11:1...And I am amused at 123.<BR/>Sometimes the clock is 11:11 like Jono said, but that time doesn't scare me, it amuses me.<BR/>I often look at the clock when it's 9:11.

I've hardly thought at all this Easter about what it actually means, and it makes me feel selfish because I've just been wrapped up in my own thoughts about homework, chocolate, myself, and everything else. I didn't go to church at all, which isn't my doing, but maybe if I'd gone I would have thought more, reflected, had a revelation like you did. Then again, I suppose I shouldn't confine these sort of things to church... I'm rambling now.some girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01652311994179275982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37068033.post-38412837390590568102007-04-09T16:18:00.000+10:002007-04-09T16:18:00.000+10:00I am glad you are amused.

That's why I am annoyed at not being able to feel like that often. <BR/><BR/>It's hard not to get swept along in the excitement of Christmas, but Easter is just as important, and it just doesn't get me. Or I don't get it.B.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07672554858290351464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37068033.post-18150734970085121482007-04-09T15:41:00.000+10:002007-04-09T15:41:00.000+10:00I'm amused by 123.

I hate that time, it scares me.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I like the psot you made a year ago, and I hope you can find some more passion again soon. Sorry, I hope you can find more passionfruit soon. I almost agree with the way you feel about Easter, in that I'm never overly excited about it either. I'm not sure why, and I'm not sure if it's a bad thing or a good thing.Jonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06702831946214453736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37068033.post-42285591831664036392007-04-08T01:40:00.000+10:002007-04-08T01:40:00.000+10:00I didn't want to take away from the seriousness of...I didn't want to take away from the seriousness of the post by editing this at the bottom, so I'm leaving it in a comment.
