I was sitting at breakfast today - reading for my physics class (yeah, I'm a bible major, but need 8hrs of lab science - go figure). Anyway, my frustrations with physics will probably be another blog another day. Back to breakfast. I guess I should say I was trying to read. This guy behind me was spouting off about how he doesnt' think chapel should be required because of a number of things. One thing he kept coming back to is that he didn't like a lot of what was being said, so he shouldn't have to listen to it. However, when they guy talking with him asked him what specifically he didn't like, they anti-chapel guy couldn't come up with anything better than John Fischer used generalizations that weren't 100 percent accurate (and John publically admitted that).

So this guy didn't think he should have to go because he didn't like a lot of the messages or speakers. Because HE didn't like them. Because he liked his youth group back home better. Freakin' grow up. Stop expecting to be spoon fed. Some of us are mature enough to gleen some benefits from any message we hear. Sometimes you just have to look for them. This guy also claimed that he got zero out of chapel - to people who claim that I ask, "How much are you putting into chapel?"

Do you realize how blessed we are to have chapel? I know a girl from germany who loves to come vising LU (she has come twice now, and if she gets the money will transfer), because our christianity is so free. She is one of 10 christians in a 5000 person school. She was sharing with me earlier that christianity is very often squashed in her classroom by her professors. Start realizing how blessed about how freely we express our faith. She thought it amazing that profs actually start class out with devos and prayer. How many of us appreciate that fact? Start counting your blessings.

ok, off the rant for now
