BETHEL COLLEGE CLEPTO
I'm somewhere in Indiana tonight sleeping in a mobile home on campus and working on one of only four Macs in the campus' computer lab. (Come on. FOUR?) No wireless in the mobile home. Boo. But it has a jumbo bathtub with jacuzzi jets...if you're into that sort of thing.
Anyway, we played at Quest Community church in Lexington, Kentucky this morning and then drove the many hours to Mishawaka, Indiana so we can play Bethel's chapel service in the morning. I talked to Becky and the kids this evening and they're doing well but wishing I could be home. Me too. It's been five days away - a rare thing for me.
Change of subject. I'm debating whether to bring this up in the morning or not: I just overheard the student sitting across from me right now talking to another female student talking about a DVD. The DVD was handed off from one girl to the other and then...
"Do you care if I burn it?"
"Nooo," came the answer with a why-on-earth-would-I look.
"Some people are weird about that you know?"
"Whatever, I don't care." And the "sharing" friend walked away leaving just me, my justice complex and the clepto sitting here together now.
And that's dangerous because I'm wondering if I should talk to her about that little exchange right now or tell the story tomorrow morning at chapel since all students at Bethel have to be there. And I'm wondering how many students are required in Christian schools these days to take a class in Christian ethics, and wondering if I should suggest this student sign up for one? Decisions, decisions.
Hey, I was just checking my mail.

Sounds like opportunity knocking to me; I'd go for it. Just, you know, pray first and be graceful.
Shaun,
Sounds like opportunity to me too. Mention it in the service. If you don't you are guilty of not correcting our fellow believers (assuming she is one). Do it in love and in keeping with scripture as I know you will.
Beth
seriously?
nah...
We actually used to have 8 macs in the lab, but when they got new ones, they just got 4, and said that no one really used the macs anyway. I was quite disappointed. I do have my own computer now so i don't have to rely on the computer lab, but i always go to the macs when i need to use a computer.
Glad you reminded people here that pirating music is bad. Even though i'm guilty of being a pirate at times myself.....
I really enjoyed your concert this morning. God used you to remind me (again) that my focus should always be stayed on Him.
Have a blessed day :)

You brought it up this morning; good job :)
It's totally unfair to the people who work hard to do CDs & DVDs & stuff & need the money from them, to have people burn them for free, you know?
Great performance this morning & I'll be posting under your Bethel entry tonight :)

I really loved chapel this morning. It was everything that I was needing. Reflection, laughter, prayer, great music...
I'm so glad you came to Bethel today. It was one of the best chapels we've had this year.
My friends and I really enjoyed it. Please come back to the area again soon!
(FYI, it's pretty much useless to try to talk to the sign language interpreters. They're not supposed to interact with anyone while on stage.)
Also, I'm glad you brought that up about CD/DVD burning. A lot of people don't seem to think that it's a problem.
Shaun,
Paul from Quest here. I know this is past, but it strikes me as a Matt. 18 thing. (If your brother offends...) BTW, great having you at Quest.
BTW, one of my friends that I've been really praying for came to Christ after the service you were a part of. He made me track down your website and the songs you sang, so you've got a new brother and sold a CD. Not bad for a day's work. Heaven will be more populated b/c of you.
Paul
