Welcome to the terms juxtaposition. I am currently listening to some nice soft blues, but I am in a good mood. This is even more weird seeing as I have been doing homework since 2:30 (time now being 4:20).
Anyway, I have my reasons to be in good mood. For a start this afternoons lesson was cancelled (Praise Be!) which has allowed me to catch up on my homework.
I should have been at the party last night. For a start it would have been a good experience, secondly, it would have been good to be there to support salvationist friends who go and don't drink, but the real reason I should have gone is because no-one got any alcohol and could buy any. When one of the dudes was explaining to me earlier today how thankfull they were (because, lets be honest, it's not all that fun to watch your friends destroy yourself) that this happened. I could of burst like a holy firework. I've been in a good mood ever since. Don't get me wrong, I don't feel pleasure from other peoples displeasure, but having prayed for those there, and that the Salvationists faith would hold out, and that my friends wouldn't wreck themselves with a triple lesson looming over them in the morning, I can't help but feel God did place his hand in that situation, and I can't help but praise my God when he does move his hand in order to protect his people!
My last reason I suppose isn't realy a reason to be happy. Tonight is my first night annual appeal collecting. I am filled with what can only be described as an air of anticipation. I'm not sure whether to expect to hear about the Army's legendary history, or be greeted with 'The Salvation Army?' Well, it will be an experience to say the least. I suppose I do consider it to be a bit of a mission opportunity, in the sense that people could ask about the Army, and instead of deny the christian faith and the Army, just covering up with social work, I can slip a bit of reasoning as to why in there as well. Go for souls; go for the worse...
