I have a headache right now that's absolutely murder. It started out with last night. I didn't get much sleep because I couldn't fall asleep and my brother kept calling the house. When I finally did fall asleep it was probably about 4 am and I knew I had to get for sunday school in a few hours. Of course I was inable to wake up for it. I really wanted to go because I knew for sunday school Jay Smith was going to be speaking but when I woke up it was 9:45 and I was already late and I was sooooo tired I could hardly even get up. So I went back to bed. Then I woke up again for church at 10:30 and I knew I was going to bed late so I had to jump and out of and hurry to get dressed. My contacts were dry ( which is why you shouldn't sleep with them in but I was too lazy to take them out the night before ) but I didn't have time to take them out and hydrate them before church. So I made it to church about 5 minutes late and it was more packed than usually, probably because Jay was there to speak. He compared muslims with christianity and what the muslims believe and such. Apparently earlier some muslims were there recording him with a camera but I wasn't there so idk. He talked about how us two religions are alike and different and how Mohamad was less relevant than Jesus.
So then after church was over we all went to the social hall to get lunch. After lunch we went back to listen to the rest of Jay's lecture and this time there were some muslims. Jay talked about how brave these people are for showing up because most christians wouldn't be able to go to a moss and be willing to listen to what they have to say and be able to say we were christians without being scared or apologizing for believing what we believe. Which is sad, because that's true. So once again Smith compared the karan (sp) to the bible and when he was done we all were asking questions. He asked one of the Muslims ( Dr..Something?) if he had any questions and he said no. Then Jay asked us if any of us had any questions for him and they guy said that he was just sitting there listening to the lecture and he loves God just like we do and that Jesus was a wonderful prophet and that us to religions aren't that different. Jay asked him if he thought that Jesus was God and the man said no and I guess that's when they both were starting to get upset. Jay said , "well then we aren't the same because Jesus is God" and thats when the 'talking match' began. The doctor got up to leave and as he was walking down the aisle Jay and him were talking at the same time and Jay told him not to get upset and the dr. said he wasn't upset but you could clearly see he was because he wasn't speaking normally now but getting louer but not quite yelling. He said ( paraphrased) " I don't know why you christians feel the need to prove everyone wrong when you believe that what you believe is right? Why can't you just let me believe in my Mohamad and leave us be?" He was getting pretty angry and a lot of us were troubled. Finally he left. Smith asked us, " was any of you disturbed by this?" and we all pretty much nodded. Another muslim man ( or was he christian?...) stood up and said , "Yeah, I was pretty disturbed by that and if you don't mind I would go and speak to him?" and left to go to talk to the Dr. He came back after a while though. His family was with him ( whose son looked especially familiar ).Meanwhile we then talked about the reaction of the Doctor and how we should handle when we're in situations like that or what to when we're attacked by all sorts of questions that we don't know how to answer. It was very interesting.
In the middle of the meeting I had to run out because my contact was absolutely killing me. I couldn't even keep my eye open. I ran home and took it out, and went back with only one contact in for the rest of the meeting. It was weird because Jay Smith was walking back and fourth but only when he was in the middle he was blurry, but when he was all the way to the left, he was clear and when he was all the way to the right he was clear. ( I took my right contact out) but just in the middle was he blurry..hm...
Anyway, having one contact in lead to my major headache, which I've had for the last couple hours. ( like 6 hours actually). But I did get to drive today :) I finally got my permit on Friday, after waiting forever. Theres one bonus.
