I never understood why people disliked “gloomy days”. I’ve always thought they were gorgeous. Not because I’m some depressing person or that I’m infatuated with being melancholy-i’m neither. To me, it just seems more realistic than a sunny day. People shouldn’t blame their ‘bad days’ on the weather just because isn’t out and shining. Even during hockey games, I loved playing the rain or on a grey-skied day. However, the fact that the temperature is dropping makes me nervous. Soon it will be winter…and it just won’t be the same. 

Today’s Human Spirituality class was crucial. The topic was faith: why some people have it, why other’s don’t, it’s difference between religion, and beyond. It hurt to sit there and listen to stories of shaken faith and others of enlightenment. Someone who I greatly admire and hold dearly pointed out (I had never heard of it this way until he told me) that true Christianity is the relationship between you and Christ-no one else! Its a tough relationship to hold firmly. My professor, who I also admire for the fact that despite her work with the church, she’ll never impose her beliefs on us, said that people she met at conventions would say that the Lord does not help you in times of need, but is there beside you during times of woe. This of course raised an ongoing fierce debate which lasted nearly all class and almost made two other people cry. Already breaking from my own past, hearing other people’s stories of calling with no felt response crushed me. And then hearing that ‘everything happens for a reason’!!! BS!!! Its too hard to truly believe that. Yea today was no fun in room 303. At least I didn’t have to listen to blahblah 2012 talk. Whatever happens, happens. 

Believe you me, I’m no saint nor do I call myself a true Christian. I never will. I’m just me- and I don’t live by something I’ve never read. I believe what I believe and that makes me content. 

Time to get laundry folks!!
