I’m not much of a social person…I tend to just sort of sit back and wait for social connections to happen. This is not probably the best way to go about making friends and building community, but whatever.<\/p>\n
This week at church, I found sitting in front of me my professor in the 19th-20th Century Brith Lit class. Apparently he’s been a member of Redeemer for about five years now. He wanted to tell me all about the way they worshipped, and answer questions I had, it was fun. He had assumed I was Baptist (coming from Missouri Baptist University to Baylor, that’s probably a fair assumption), and wouldn’t know the liturgical ins and outs. Very good to see him there…I always find working with professors easier when I know for sure what background and worldview they’re coming from. And while we were talking, two more girls I have classes with showed up, and we talked…both very nice and friendly, but not, you know, obnoxiously so. ;)<\/p>\n
So already, within a week of school starting, there’s are connections being made between school and church. So great.<\/p>\n
(Unrelated to church, but related to friendship connections, there’s a guy in one of my classes who’s as big a film buff as I am! We started chatting before class on Thursday, and briefly discussed David Lean, Lawrence of Arabia<\/i>, Terrence Malick (he’s a fan, I haven’t actually seen Malick films yet), Hitchcock, Fellini, and Truffaut all in the space of about ten minutes. That was fun!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
