Well, am bored doing one-hundred and one things for uni so taking time out to share some thoughts. Had the congress this weekend, it was good fun, good to see everyone. Was nice to be involved, but nice to sit back and listen as well.

Thoughts about the weekend:
1. It was exactly what I was expecting. Quite Army. Had the hand-flags waving at some points. It reminded me of what I've read about rallies. People being proud of what they stood for etc. However, found it a bit weird.
2. Being at the back of the hall totally gives me vertigo...
3. I felt the entire Sunday was just about getting people to go to the Mercy Seat. I don't mind that, and I think it's amazing and I wish I had the guts to do it one day, but it made me feel uncomfortable.
4. Thought the band and the a chorus were pretty alright!
5. Again with the observer thing. If someone came in and saw what i saw, they'd run back out again, cause that's what I felt like doing sometimes. It's not that I was embarrassed, it's just I think some things are silly (how vague am i being?)

As a little side thought, well I think that's me more-or-less finished anyway, thinking about observers made me think. This is how my train of thought (choo-choo) went:

(Me, on bus):
"Hmm...I wonder what would happen if someone had come in and seen us all looking at a screen and reading off what it said, what they would have thought. Surely they must think were insane. They don't know that we're reading it to someone, therefore they must just be thinking we're reading it for the sake of reading. I wonder, if we had put a cross or something in the middle so that could be a focus point, so we could look as if we were reading to that, but, wait a minute, is that not like idolatry? Or could it turn into idolatry? Hmm...(started reading again)"

yeah, so I just thought my musings were different as I haven't thought about idolatry before. It was just so strange at how easily the thought slipped into my mind. Made me think about the golden calf incident, and look how that turned out. Made me conclude that if you don't think about something it could take you down the wrong road so easily. Then again, there is nothing wrong with having a cross in a worship hall somewhere!

Anyway really have to finish this report.
Sorry if I make no sense whatsoever, 'cause i don't usually.
