I am going to be completely honest. I forgot that we had to go to go to that play, until you reminded us of it last class. I had already made plans to go to a worship conference in Alabama. The conference was called the RAMP, and I would say that it similar to Fire Fall, but 100 times better. I wish I could say that I would have rather stayed to go to the play, but I would be lying. I would never take back the experience I had at the RAMP. I feel like I have been completely changed. Proof that I am changed by my experience is that when you were talking about honesty and integrity concerning the play attendance. I said to myself, "Yeah, right!", and I was planning on reading a summary of he play then just writing about that, but instead I am here telling you the truth.
The first night of the Ramp, the preacher aught on Ananias and Sephira, who were new Christians right after Christ had risen, and were apart of the early church. A leader in the church, Barnabas, sold his land and gave the money to church. Like wise Ananias sold his land, but instead gave only part to the church, but said it was all. The preacher than spoke of how Christians have been ruining their relationship with God, because they have been pretending to give all to him, while still holding back. Jesus said, It is better to be hot or cold, but if you are lukewarm, I will spew you out of my mouth." This message completely left me stunned, and I knew I had to change. I rededicated my life to Christ, and decided to give him my all instead of just half.
So i appologize that I didn't attend the play, but I would miss it again f it meant not experencing the change that I had.
