Carrots

Sunday night was a pretty good night. We played "The Game of Things". It involves a topic (chosen by card) where everyone writes something that comes to mind, and people guess who wrote what item. Some people write down legitimate responses, others note items of hilarity. One topic was "Things that make you cry". Two people wrote "onions", someone wrote "watching sad movies", "chick flicks", and there was more. After realizing many people would write "onions", I scratched it out and wrote "carrots" (while giggling). That was a bad round for me.

I was floored when they brought out a surprise birthday cake for me. In fact, I saw the two with the cake beforehand, and thought it was for someone else. I went to help them turn off the lights. It was pretty funny when the cake came around to me. It was a carrot cake.

Something that has left me worried over the night is my friends' blatant opposition to God and Christianity. One claimed that they don't believe in Heaven. She also said she uses tarot cards. Another questioned the innocence of churchgoers. I did not refute their arguments. As the only other Christian there, I wish I had thrown down. Sadly, I neither think that it was prudent nor in God's plan.

On the plus side, I think there is someone that will be open to the gospel message. I think she is the most open-minded out of my friends and I will have to re-establish communication with her. Praise God for it was a worthwhile night of both fun times and things to think about. :)
