Since coming to Kaleo I have learnt some crazy new Christian jargon. Really I had never heard the word discernment in my life before coming here and its a word that is used on a regular basis now. I guess that means I'm growing? Haha at least my vocabulary is... Another word that I learnt about recently is emergent. Right now we are preparing for our Foundations in Church Ministry course that will be happening next Monday and we have to read a book called "Why we're not emergent " and some people love it. I however hold a strong grudge towards this book not really the book itself but just one of the book's authors. Because the book is written by two guys I just don't like one of them. The other guy is super boss and makes everything make sense because the one I dislike doesn't ever make sense to me because he uses words that no one understands. I only dream of being as intellectual as that guy. By the way I still don't know what emergent means but its more christian jargon. There is emergent and non-emergent. To me emergent seems like it could be anything under the sun. I'm sure its a good book I just really enjoy reading books without dead lines and taking notes about them. I love reading. I LOVE READING! I really do, I'm actually not lieing to you. I wish I could read what I want to and not the million text books that briercrest gives you to read, although we have been pretty blessed our textbooks are pretty boss. Back onto the topic of words I watched Juno last night with some of the girls and Bleaker says "Wizard" a few times in the movie and the context he uses it in is like he is substituting the word cool for wizard so we were thinking we could take any word of something you think is cool and substitute it for the word cool. For example I happen to believe that pom juice* is cool. So instead of saying cool I would say pom juice. Then after we have that down its our mission now to make other people use it in they way I intended it. I just want you to know that my love for reading has just started this past year so I have quite a few books on my "to read list" and I am hoping to get a lot of reading done during Christmas break unfortunately that is when I have to do my camp ministry readings so I am not super positive I will get around to reading what I want still. Sorry this one is getting long. I could write more but I will let you get on with your real life. Now please go and enjoy the rest of your day!
*I don't actually think pom juice is that cool but it was the coolest thing beside my computer.
Sorry if this one dosen't make any sense its late and so I tend to not make sense when its late.
ReplyDeleteMary, it makes sense, and I love it, and pom juice. I will start using it as I have introduced other words into peoples vocabs before, such as radtastic circa 2009 haha seriously love you, keep up the good work cause you are prospering my friend xoxo Yams
