Porn Debate and Friends

Class is starting in 15 minutes or so and I'm just sitting at the library computer doing not very much.
Just to mark this date as an important day for UBC C4C.
IT"S THE PORN DEBATE!
Ron Jeremy vs Michael Leahy...not sure if I could say "versus".
I'm fortunate so have friends *sob*.
Last night, I had so much in mind regarding to the people who are "friends" with me.
What is a friend?
There are two concept we sometimes face in our own little community: Quality and Quantity
On facebook, we have lots of friends.
Does having a lot of friend count for anything?
We'll to be honest, there is something very significant to have a lot of friends.
First, is that you can be in lives and get connect to do some follow up and catching up.
After that, why not talk about the gospel?
Second, if that person is interested in knowing who's Jesus, share the gospel!
Third, if they accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, train them to be God's laborer.
I have 400 friends on facebook and imagine that every one of them came to Christ.
Hallelujah!
Looking for a good quality friend is hard.
Sometimes there are people who just pretends to be your friend or maybe  they don't know you well enough.
Well, nearly around 30%-45% of the people on my facebook friends are my quality friends...maybe since I didn't do the Math.
Brb! CLASS TIME!


 

Anyhow, I just came back from the Porn Debate.

I can say that it wasn't as great as I expected to be because there weren't much debating going on.

Most of the time that was spent was on the Q&A with the students.

The questions that were raised were quite interesting; I never knew some people would have these thoughts in mind.

A lot of people got me tickets and I felt bad because a friend of mine got me a ticket and my other friend bought me a ticket already.

I felt really bad in choosing who to follow, thus ditching my friend for the other friend.

Ronald bought me the ticket when I saw JOanne waiting for me at the advance line.

The feeling of separation kind of struck me when I rejected her invitation while she could have used it for another friend, thus she sat in the other room.

Friends from SFU already reserved a ticket for me, but I also rejected them and sat with UBC.

Not sure about myself anymore, I'm always between two University: SFU and UBC.

I mean...so what if I have friends from both campuses.

Can't I hang out with one of them at a time?

Besides, I haven't seen the UBC people for a while.

It is hard to balance the time you spend with your friends.

There are some friends who you spend the most, and other friends who you don't spend a lot of time with.

I'm thankful and blessed though to have friends.

But I always feel that something needs to be sacrifice.

3 of my friends reserved a ticket for me, but I must choose 1/3.

SFU won't mind if I ditched them, hopefully, since I spend a lot of time with them this semester.

However, two other of my friends are new to my life.

One of them I met last semester, and one from Winter Conference.

I always get this misunderstanding that if I do this, the other individual won't like what I've done.

However, all of us are children of God.

We learn to forgive each other for what we've done.

There might be time of sorrow and conflict, but if we look upon what Jesus have done for us, then we'll understand what it means to forgive.

There is one thing that is very hard for me to forgive though.
