ode to the sixth report

Hours 1.5 worship service, 1.5 Sunday school, 2 hours church service

The setting

I walk into a iridescent lighted room. The tile floor of a kitchen grips my feet. the walls are pearly white, as most kitchens are. a few posters are strewn about the walls. Some of them speak about kitchen "esqe" things. A few in the corner say biblical type things. Which helps state what this room was remade into. two long tables have been set side by side to create a board room feel. Metal, paint chipped chairs are pushed in around the table as a church does need be organized.

Six of use sit at the corner of the newly made square. the chairs conducting a great amount of chill from the poorly insulated room. the benefit of the numbing effect is the wide awake feeling you get form shivering. the corner is the best to get close and still be able to look at each other to watch each others reactions to the beautiful literature that is about to be read.

The postures of the students are those of discomfort and listening intent. some start to slouch but feel the effect of cold steel in the back and without hesitation sit upright again. a low humming form the fridge continues to reverberate in our minds as we try to listen, but the white noise is like a call to mellowness. coffee is handed out as it is much appreciated for the warmth and caffeine that will soon surge through the body.

The lesson is given. People listen. People talk. people learn.

Questions:

1. Do you need an "appropriate room for Bible study?
2. what would an ideal environment be?
