the goodness of friday

this was the first time going to a good friday service since i have entered the college life. it all felt so new and refreshing. for the first time i was thinking, "wow the orchestra and the choir are really amazing". i definitely would not have felt that way in high school.

while sitting and listening to the scripture readings and orchestra/choir, i was saddened by a verse that came to mind.

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing...
1 Corinth. 1:18

isnt that sad? the crux and the driving force of our christian lives is simply a foolish fairy tale to the people in this world who dont believe. the hope that we find that gives our lives purpose is nonexistent in the person who sees this message as foolish.

anyway, just a thought..
