Something Ping said last Sunday got me thinking. She asked us what we thought our friends were getting out of our conversations with them - an update on Glee (or the latest whatever) or a glimpse of God's love?
Obviously, she's not condemning us to never talk about superficial things, because sometimes, you just have to stay on the surface. But she has a point.
What defines us isn't that one big thing we did that one time, it's what we do daily. It's the things in every day life that we take for granted and don't often think about.
I really admire people who are able to bring up God randomly in conversations, no matter how small the remark, because it's something that I've never been able to do with ease. It's strange, right? I grew up going to church and listening to people preach, but never talking about God unless it was answering a question in Sunday School or in a Christian environment. The topic rarely even comes up when I talk with my parents.
And I get it that it's better to show God's love rather than just talking about it, but if I can barely do that with my Christian friends, how can I do that with people who aren't?

Amen.
I do have friends where it's no problem, super normal, but it can be hard to do with a lot of people. I think it's something you have to work on and it gets easier. It has been for me, for sure.
Glee is stupid. The end.
