Philosophical jumble-ness

I was sitting in my friend’s car as we drove back from a Target run this afternoon. We were discussing favorite colors, which carried on into a conversation (mostly me questioning) about if I was content because I had so much color in my life or if the color was a reflection of me being content. I do understand that color is probably not a direct relation to my contentment, but I like the idea of looking around my room and seeing bright happinesses everywhere. I have orange and blue curtains, a bright red robe and other colors floating around. It’s really nice. Okay, my room is a disaster because I have to move again soon to my final resting place for the year, but the colors makes me smile.

This seems to be an overall reflection of my general contentment. I really do love my life right now. Wonderful friends, exciting goals, fun job and only one year left of undergrad classes! Yeah! Oh, and I am looking forward to my classes this fall.

Oh, and that reminds me. I was helping out at my church’s Vacation Bible School and as I walked past the Pastor he looked up and said to the person on the phone, “I’ll be having Julia contact you with more information.” Okay, I’m paraphrasing, but that was the general idea. I walked past at the right moment and now I get to plan the church’s next coffeehouse event. We’ll be having a lead singer from a band coming to play and talk with us. I, along with two friends, will be decorating, planning, advertising, cooking and recruiting help. I think it will be a lot of fun.

One thought regarding speakers, and as I have no idea who will be the speaker for this event I am not bring a personal attack,etc.

I wonder if it shows a lack of wisdom on the part of younger people to put such emphasis upon having 'young' speakers. Where, within the church, as we would not expect such things of the world, do we see the younger ones learning from wisdom of the older? Titus 2 for example. Yes, some younger people have wisdom and are good teachers and examples. Praise the Lord, . . . or is having older speakers too much like listening to one's parents?

Just a thought.

Dad, I agree with you in general. In this situation I have no idea the age of the speaker. Pastor made the arrangement and I am just organizing all the less fun details. Also it will be conducted more as an interview, with our Pastor asking the questions.
