reponse to tylers practicum report #4

1. I know that I am dedicated to one Church. I have seen many students file in and out of my church. I watch the people put so much love and greetings into these students, all for them to leave at the end of the semester. They have special dinners, give cookies and hugs to them all the time, but all for a short time. I wonder if it hurts them as it hurts me to watch it happen. The past few Sundays First Baptist has been changing songs to more modern day songs for the very fact that there are new practicum students. They gave up the beauty of hymns and psalms all to impress students? this cannot simply be. I know when i picked out a church to start practicums at, i knew it would be one for almost all the years i am here. Not only have I built a different relationship with them, i have also built trust and understanding with them. You cannot get that out of a one semester practicum.

2. I don't know if you can get everyones attention. The person I ever heard doing so was Jonathon Edwards. I don't necessarily want to scream hell at people, but He had some intriguing points. I know that people are going to be naturally inclined not to listen, unless the Holy Spirit is guiding them. So that is my advice. Pray Pray Pray.
