A much needed wake up call
Hmm... don't know how to start this post, so I'll just jump right into the matter. I was talking to a fellow Jumbo (Tuft's student) from NC the other day, and I got booted off of AIM while trying to swap pictures with him. When I come back on I type "Stupid effing AIM" (direct quote there) in a moment of frustration after a long day (thats not an excuse or anything, well, not really). He replies with "Woah, I thought you were Chrisitan..." (we briefly touched on the topic before). What he said really made me stop and consider my actions. At first I thought "I didn't even really curse if you wanna get techincal about it," but then realized that cursing is more that just specific words that are said, it's the feeling behind those words also. "effing" may not be a curse, but the way I felt when I typed/said that word was just the same, I might as well typed in "fucking." His reply made me realize, or actually made me remember, that everything i do, don't do, say, etc. is a reflection on my life, my spirituality, and my Christian walk. And not just a reflection on me, but one of all Christians... (more to be said at a later time)
