Hey what's up. I have a question pertinent to the utapas de viva (is that right Mindy?) that I am in right now. This question is for some of the older members of Metro (if you don't go to Metro come back Tuesday :-) unless your just curious about our church) I guess I'm talking mostly to Jaime, Mom, Rachel, Jenn, Medana and whoever else from Metro that might stumble across my humble blog (if you people want to tell your friends to come and answer the question thats cool plus it'll give my site more hits :-)
Question: what are one or two of the biggest things that you would like to see change about our youth/young singles? Be it a concern, a burden, just something you've noticed etc. anything you've noticed about the young people of the Church. Now this isn't just to hear you vent (altho that's cool too) but I was sitting here in DC wondering "hey I wonder what some of the older people think of me/us but never tell me."
So fire away!

the pyros
So there's a question coming for all my faithful readers (my family, Joe, Melinda and Danny :-) but first..........the NBA is a joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Spurs fans should be hoping that the suns win game 5 and then the Spurs win games 6 and 7 cause if they go on to win the championship b/c of something David Stern did then their title will be a joke.
Anyways...I'm just curious what those who have been reading the posts and comments on the pyromaniacs about modesty think about it.

Representing a Biblical Worldview
Another question for my faithful readers...what is wrong w/ the follow statements.
A republican governments responsibility (like America) is to, within the realm of practicality, represent the wants and beliefs of the majority (there are obviously certain inherent rights that they protect that wouldn't change even if the majority disagreed. Government wouldn't legalize murder if 51% decided it was cool.) Therefore, as Christians, our PRIORITY should be to, through witnessing and evangelizing, attempt to influence the people, the mob, for Christ. The governments would then HAVE to represent a biblical worldview. If they didn't, we simply would not reelect them. But my history professor, Thomas Reid, would be quick to point out that politicians will never not represent the majority. They can't afford to.
And yes I understand that I used a double negative in the second to last sentence, Doug. You don't have to list that fact as one of the problems with those statements :-).
