New idea!!!

the little "field trip" was just what i needed for the day. all that day i was feeling slow, and lethargic. to be honest i was just gonna sit through our class eagerly waiting to get out so i could get lunch and take a nap. the field trip quickly snapped me awake.
     the lesson in the field trip was all about interactions. how Dr. Borders interacted with the bees was related to how we interact with society, specifically Huntingdon. Dr. Borders learned how to interact with his bees not by sitting in a room and listening to someone tell him how to bee keep, he learned by going out and doing. gaining experience. he learned how to interact and be comfortable with the bees so much so that he can now do it without full body protection.
      i think what Dr. Borders was trying to get across was that to figure out who you are cant be learned or taught in an institution. its learned by going out and creating experiences for yourself that shapes who you wanna be. i like this new idea of being guided but learning on our own, not being dictated life with pen and paper.

you scratch my back, I'll think about scratching yours

      in class we brought to light a interesting but awful truth. it's not what you know but who you know. alot times more qualified people get beat out for a job by a more connected person. it's obviously not the best thing ever but it's just the way of the world.
     the way Dr. Borders explained the patron-client seems, to me, like a sports or talent agent. the agent tries to help there client to success, while if the client becomes wildly successful the agent can then pursue more high profile clients. if the first client just completely falls flat then the agents reputation takes a blow.
    im sure if the clients we discussed in class spent as much time and effort building a career or craft instead of  bulstering their patron, then they would not have need for a patron in the first place. might even have clients of their own.

Whats important?

     So were all  blogging, not because we want to, but because its a grade. some people have probably found this actually kind of fun, i know i have. however, i believe Dr. Borders intended this to be a tool. this is not just a grade, but a tool for us to share with each other whats important to our souls or spirit as individuals and as collective christians.
     Nothing puts whats important in perspective like a busy weekend. whether its school work or athletics, theres always something to slow you down and realize that life itself is important, people are important, your faith (or faithing) is important.
    Some people actually like school, it can be fun sometimes. some people enjoy being athletes, which is totally fine too. I, however, want to experience all that God has created in this world, or at least as much as i can. the good and the bad. God created this world, why not enjoy all that you can? you only get one life. perhaps all this can be categorized under faithing, the verb, but couldn't it, in some cases, be synonymous with just living life?

whats YOUR truth?

     oh well hello there, didnt notice you there reading my blog.  well sit down and take load off and enjoy my blog if you will.
     does anyone else feel like are religion class is, in some ways, more than just your average, run of the mill, religion class. to me, the class has a hint of philosophical lectures with religion as the topic. i enjoy our religion class. i enjoy open discussion and tough questions. and whether Dr. Borders means to or not, i enjoy watching him lead us into answering our own questions.
    for most of the last 2 weeks we've been talking about perceptions and what is actual truth. to questions such as these, i think the only answer that is correct is the answer you discover for yourself. your truth can be what you see, or what you believe, or what is popularly proven to be true. your truth can be all of these, or can be none of these. to me, truth and perception is whatever you decide. agree or disagree?
