Ok, so a lot of the time I just tell you random things that happen in my life. I will also let you know more about what my professors are like in this post.
To begin with, me and SM went sharing on campus again. We started off in the food court (which is where I went sharing for the first time with SS!) We ended up meeting D(?) and having a really great conversation. His mom used to go to church, but after a fight with his dad, she went less often or something and just he has only been to church for like Easter and Christmas. He is a criminal law student and he is really passionate about justice. He wouldn't want to be condemning innocent people or defending those who are guilty.
We got to talking about our craving for justice and how God can satisfy our craving. Jesus took all of the injustice to bring us life and pay for our mistakes and we know that God will in the end bring each of us to judgement, but human law doesn't satisfy. He was really interested. We got to talking about the gospel, and it seemed a little odd to us that he hadn't really heard it before. He had to go write a last minute paper, but he asked for contact information, which is awesome.
We also got to talk with M(?), which was brought about partially because me and SM were talking about wearing cross necklaces, which he was. He has a Catholic background, but isn't practicing, and is even pretty much agnostic now. When we were talking to him, he was saying how he believed God is imperfect just like us, that perfection is found in imperfection. There is definitely beauty in the imperfect, we have been made in his image, but God's wrath was always righteous, not on a whim. God is perfect, if he wasn't, we wouldn't worship him.
Anyways, we got to talking about his cross necklace and it was apparently more for sentimental value given to him by a friend. He just always wears it. He actually forgot he was wearing it when I asked. lol. Then I got to tell him about my bracelet and how it also has meaning. How the gold string means that we were created in the image of God as perfect and holy, but as the dark string explains, we have all fallen away and become sinful people, separated from God and His love for us. But there is nothing we could/can do by our power to bridge the gap. But out of God's great love for us, he sent his only Son to die for our sins. The red string represents His blood that has been poured out for us. God sent His son to die on the cross for us. For you and me. So that our sins could be payed for. The sins which separated us have been forgiven and paid for. So in God's sight we are white as snow, which is what the clean string represents. Finally the green string represents our growing relationship with God. When we accept Jesus as our savior, our relationship as God's children is reestablished and eternal life begins.
Ya. We got to talk for a little while after that. We found out a bit about him and his past jobs and what he's into. It turns out we have some mutual friends and we're actually both in Raven's log and CUJA. lol. >.> Ya, so I'll be seeing him around I guess. xP
Ya, so.
My plant bio prof. He's pretty crazy. lol.

Yep. That's my crazy Bio prof that canoes to work, wears a sweater, leg warmers and nothing on his feet while speaking, can't use clicker technology, doesn't have definitive answers for questions, has a large grey beard and often talks about plants that drugs are made from in class. He's pretty weird. We went to the greenhouses today after class on a field trip. lol
He's pretty weird. He talked for over a week about Maple Syrup. He asked us to bring knives to class so that we could cut a beet and see the multiple vascular cambia. He has described pollen in a very odd way when we were talking about 'plant sex'. He described pollen as 'detachable penises' >.> Sorry if that's too much to handle. It's a really weird class. xP
Ya.
Ttyl.
