One day matters in eternity

So today we go on campus like normal and to be honest I'm feeling a little out of it. We had women's and men's retreats this past weekend, so we had some time off to recoup from that, but I'm still pretty tired. (What can I say, I just can't sleep well without Keith). But anyway, we get there, and another girl on our team, Halle, said she is feeling a little bit the same and is having a hard time not just looking forward to the next thing. She was like, but I need to remember that one day matters in eternity. I thought that was a really cool perspective and something I really needed to hear.

So, Melinda, another teammate and I head off to the science campus. To be honest, I really didn't want to go there. Last time I was there, no one wanted to talk. They were cordial about it, but I was thinking no one here cares. So I realized I needed to go there again. Well this time I see 2 girls and a guy sitting on the ground, just smoking and hanging out. I felt like we should talk to them, but to honest, again, I didn't want to. I thought they looked "too cool" and wouldn't care or be interested.

But I was convicted so I went. I had our picture survey, Soularim, with us so we used that.

Well...I'll save you the suspense, we had an incredible conversation with them. Turns out they do care! The two girls admitted that their science has taught them that nothing happens after they die and they find that sad. They both also said that they are afriad to see what will happen after death. We talked to them for over an hour and talked about ultimate truth vs. relativity (can anyone be good enough, where is the line), heaven and hell and religion vs. God. It was such a nice converstation and relaxing. It seemed so normal to talk about these things. Even though we go on the campus all during the week, I still get nervous and wonder if I am crazy for wanting to talk about this with people. But it was a good reminder of how normal talking about our faith should be. People think about what will happen when they die and what the purpose of life is. They may not accept Jesus, but how can they even make that decision if they have never heard?
