Strange event at the coffee shop today
se7en:
Alex, I'm with Rhys on this one. What are they serving in that coffee? haha
I do the same thing as well, I go to the local coffee shop to study. You honestly do hear the strangest things... One day, there was a study group from a local church that came in and sat in the table directly across frome me. I could hear everything.
"I'm a three point calvanist" One person said
"I'm a two point" someone piped up. "Because, obviously God has given us all a free will, you know?"
And the conversation got worse, and worse.... and worse.
I remember not long ago, I would be having the same types of conversations right along with them... laughing and carrying on. I feel sad for them, but at the same time, I feel extremely blessed and happy that God pulled me out of that. Thank you Lord for the Truth!

Oh there is no shortage of religious conversations at the coffee shop! I'm right with you on that one. I hear all the time talk about the scriptures or some asinine doctrine. Sometimes I feel like God is doing it on purpose to me... lol. Havn't to hear all that blasphemy and be completely silent. Sigh... lol. I've gotten better at just brushing it off and reminding myself that I would be exactly where they were if it weren't for God and God alone. I am no better, I remind myself in times like that.
Its strange that coffee shops attract such large groups of religion, mostly christian in my experience, groups. I see many bibles at the coffee shops as well but sometimes I get the sense inside that its all just show with some of them.
I mean.. when I study the scriptures its in private, and I only ever speak to those closest to me about such matters and even then it is not for long as I know of no one in my immediate life (save my brother George) who believes as I do or even cares.
I'm actually at the coffee shop right now, studying for my MCAT exam again.. I've decided to take it a second time in the coming spring of 2014. Just jump starting the gears since I have alot of free time now that I'm on summer break. I feel compelled to do it again and I have a confidence that I'll score better this second time around.
To Ez2u,
It was a very interesting experience and I have nothing against the mentally ill. There are alot of injustices in our world that leave many people victims. There is really not much we can do as it is as our Lord has planned it. We can only try and better ourselves so as to provide a light to those the Lord places around us so that they may not be in complete darkness that pervades this earth so greatly.
Love to you both,
Alex

Alex,
I feel exactly the way you do concerning the coffee shop antics! Lately, if I hear any religious doctrine going on.... *woooop* on goes my headphones. I'm not listening to any music... it's just to muffle the gibberish.
The Lord bless you in your studies on the MCAT. I've heard it's a difficult test!

Does anyone else feel like me and want to go to this coffee shop?
It could be the new kind of forum hanging out meeting place
Oh well lead the way Alex. I will need a first class plane ticket from NZ and I only stay in 5 star accommodation.
I will let you take care of that for me - No need to thank me
Rhys ;D
