I feel strongly in life that people should do everything by inspiration - if you feel like going, then by all means, go. If you don't feel like it just simply don't and don't feel guilty about it.
Most people who say they live by The Bible really don't. Some of them even believe they do, but they actions tend to strongly disagree and it happens because people think that reading it once in your youth gives you all the knowledge and understanding of the faith. Some people read it every day, but never actually get its message, because they interpret it in ways that best suits their own agenda.
I've never read The Bible as a whole, I've only read a few parts of it here and there and I can sincerely say that I feel like I understand Jesus message better than most Christians do. The message is simply love.
It is hard when someone is interrupting. Maybe next time you could talk to that kids about it and ask them to be respectfully quiet if they're not willing to participate.
But sometimes in cases like this there's really nothing to do, but learn even more tolerance yourself and grow a thicker skin.
But I do agree, it's very rude of them to defile something so sacred.
Don't be sorry, besides I love long comments anyways :D
Actually I did, which is not something that I get to say often. I mean, I my head's always in book, but rarely find one that I would really qualify as good.
I've read a bunch of Paolo Coelho's books, like Brida, The Alchemist, etc. They were pretty good and I just really love how he inserts realizations about love, life, spiritualty, etc.
Oh! And if you haven't read Carlos Ruiz Zafón's The Shadow of the Wind, I strongly suggest it. It's really good.
I'll be sure to check Sparks's work out, I checked my library's site right now and all his books are borrowed. *sad face*, read any other good ones?
I'm kind of deciding whether or not if I should run to the library right now... :D
