So last night I went to this social for my dorm’s floor. It was organized by my RA, Robert. Nothing too fancy, just pizza and soda down in the kitchen. Robert was just using it as a way to see how people were doing.
Well, after the food ran out only about 6 or 7 of us stuck around to talk. Somehow we got on to the topic of death, then on to the topic of the end of the world. Now I’m standing there thinking, “They’re talking about spiritual things. Say something meaningful that will impact them.” And I’m just squirming there because I can’t think of anything. Andy’s with me, and I’m sure he’s much more calm about it than I am, but I’m sure he’s in the same boat. One of the guys brings up the point that he doesn’t think the world is getting worse, but only that the bad things are more publicized. Andy jumps in by says that in Revelation it says that you will hear about wars and famine, explaining that before they could still be going on, it’s just when the prophecy comes to pass you’ll start hearing more about them.
Of course in my head I’m like, “WOO HOO!” I’m still trying to think of something, but I’m drawing a complete blank. I have to admit, I felt pretty inadequate. You see, we were talking about how all religions feel about going to heaven, and not two minutes before Robert had asked everyone what their major was. Mine is religion. So I should have been the most vocal in the group supposedly. Ugh! I’m just hoping I get another chance to do better. I won’t screw it up this time.
