Brad Somebody

Well, last night i went to the Corpus Cristi bible study (and everything else associated with it) with Brad Sjo...jick?... whatever. Jon Pohl was the bible study leader... so... yeah, it was very excieting to say the least. Adam Halfman was there, what a fun cat. British Jenni was funny. They r all (not exactly all...) are coming to Fowler... what a crazy place to go, i know.

Well it was fun meeting the people at the dinner after the bible study and i liked the rosary (they singe the first hail mary of a decade, so that was sweet), but the bible study was more boring than any of my classes this semester. When I go to bible study with intervarsity we do manuscripting, where we have a print-out of the text and we can mark it up with notes and then we ask eachother questions about what we think and yeah, its great fun. I actually have to think. Listening to Jon Pohl give a bible study is like the opposite of thinking. I just sat there and tried to listen... he just kept reading encyclicals. I'm sorry, but i'm not there to study inciclicals, i'm there to study the bible. i care about the pope, and he knows what he's saying, but i don't like not thinking. I love Jon Pohl, i just really don't like his bible studies... unless of course i'm trying to go to sleep.

Now i feel conflicted. i like the people and i like that we can pray and be so catholic... i've been missing that. but, i dont like how terribly unbarably boring the bible study part of the the bible study is. what do u think?
