The Graveyard experience

During the reading I really found it very interesting to read when C.S Lewis began to talk about biblical suffering and the relation it had to the situation he was facing. Lewis made some very good points that many Christians have not thought about it. Lewis says that Christianity is promised with a life of suffering that we so willingly say yes to. He goes on to say that he hadn’t received anything that he hasn’t bargained for. This made me think about suffering and how zealous we could be about it, and how many sermons we could preach from it, and how many scripture we could recite about it but when it happens to you, an imagination just became a reality that you were not truly looking for or wanted. And I feel that a lot of Christians including myself are in for a rude awakening!! Also the visit to the cemetery was such an eye opening experience. I went with Tiffany and Sianna and what made this experience such an eye opener was the conversation we all engaged on when it came down to the realization that life does come to an end. The visit was great but the conversation we began to engage in about literature and life was so amazing, I learned so much from these girls that I would of never knew in a class that meets up twice a week. We actually didn’t side track to other conversations which I expected but we stayed on topic there and even on our way back to campus, which was cool. I think that this class and these many learning ventures are very beneficial to me and my future in ministry. Professor Corrigan was kind of weird at first but there is a reason behind his madness, if you keep an open mind…lol… I can honestly say I thought my religious professors and classes would speak into me but this one class has impacted me more than any religion course I took this whole semester.
