Square - pretty true.
Yes Gary, our family was pretty square at the time. I however am no longer square but rather round (according to the mirror) - no seriously - I had a very solid upbringing steeped in God's Word, but I think that my parents were afraid that we kids would make wrong choices. Which we did - especially Garry & me. I wasn't as 'square' as the others, my corners were rounded - now a days there don't seem to be any straight edges left. Even mum has changed in her view alot - I think that Garry (brother) and me helped do that during mum and dad's sleepless nights worrying about us, I think I gave the most sleepless nights though. It's one thing to protect your kids, and another thing to stifle them. I was a country kid, shy and self conscious and suddenly I was nursing in South Yarra at 17. I discovered that there was another world 'out there', and that not all non-christian friends were bad influences.
Hey Gary - we are going to have to agree to disagree on our views of the creation of the world! You and Garry would have much in common now-a-days :)
Thanks Geoff for sharing about Acts. I did Acts at Bible College all those years ago - it wasn't my favourite book though. I loved John and even got an A+ . The A's were few and far between. My lowest mark was D- for New Testament Greek!
I have attempted to go to BSF on two separate occasions, each time lasting a few months. I'm afraid our lecturer is rather monotone in her approach and I found myself going to sleep after a busy day. I also wasn't disciplined with my homework, and would find myself taking the questions to work on a Monday and answering them between patients. Not the proper way to study!
We have just finished a Prophecy Conference that we held during this month. It was very interesting. Why do you think it says in the Bible that when there is the New Heaven and the New Earth that there will be no sea? Check it out and tell me what you think.
