Well tuesday is finally here… and this being my second attempt to blog .. i just want to say that lunch went fairly well, and me and art had a good in depth talk.

After praying and doing some devotions today i once again came to realize that all of that junk isn’t really worth my frustration… its vanity, its annoyance… yah but once again like what Cat said — leaving — resigning isn’t really going to do much to change anything.. my quiet time also led me into the realm of humbleness, and submission… which with a new light has been shone onto my perspective on what to do.

Situational Facts which are untouched in Creative Arts Ministry.
1. Lack of a ’spiritual aspect’
I brought this up with Arthur, explaining my whole analogy of being ‘disciples of photoshop’ and what not… and though he hadn’t thought of it before.. he caught what i meant and we had a good discussion about church liberalism and how yes… we actually really need that.
So what i plan on talking w/ tim about is how we can implememt this and maybe have more time to get together as a team, bible study, hanging out.. and the sort every once in a while…

2. Vanities in aesthetics
though we didn’t really talk about it… i told him about the gordon siu quote — about the vanities in bringing a person only to you, instead of to God with asthetics… and according to Art this vanity is true… but its an aspect of church and serving in teh technical side of things… which though costs lots of money.. and money being an amount that God gives us (NOT just a resource we work for and are limited in) thus (right now in my own thinking) if its God’s will that we get the land next door.. the money needed will naturally come, the money the misisonaries need… will naturally go to them… aferall God is our ever sustaining Savior :). So sure… we might blow a bunch of cash on a printer for colour brochrues and what not… but that being a ‘tool’ and the brochures being a vessel of evangelism… and Evangelism being a Kingdom Value, is much more valuable than any money we can ever give. So yes — a colour brochure is pretty much in vanity because it brings x person into the church, where the church can embrace them with our going strength right now — relationship. The problem isn’t in that — the problem resides in discipleship… we’re a relationship driven church right now… but discipleship… much like spirituality is much in reality absent. This is actually really true… cause i remember back in Hosanna when i asked the teens what Grace and what was Mercy? simple biblical concepts.. which are in their very essence esseintial to the Christian faith… yet they didn’t know. Now these are not teens who aren’t into church life… these are my brothers and sisters who are actively participating and serving.. and presently serve in a much more diligent and busy schedule than i do right now… justl ike how i used to…. this brings up what Arthur says…. about how most ppl are willing to do anything for God, and for the Church, but often they aren’t too willing to spend quiet time…. >> describes me a lot of the times when i’m way too busy…. and yet the whole Mary and Martha thing all over again.

but yah…i guess… thats pretty much the important things…
save for the ‘darkest night of spirituality’ which i seem to be sorta floating in and out of… just gotta endure and wait till dawn breaks and everything is fine
more about that good & fun stuff later i guess… till thens i’ve got a korean romance flick to watch, a book to read, my weblayout to finalize, and gentoo to recompile.. haha i’ll blog later — given that more insightful things happen..

*cheers*
