Am-9.....Fight club here I come...
The highlight of my day was getting into a fight. And better yet it was at work! IT WAS AWESOME! No it was not a physical fight ( although that would be doubly fun...maybe...). I was sitting at work...minding my own business *kinda* when someone was reading my anti-abortion hoodie (Rock for Life) and the two ladies next to me started asking me if I was pro-choice and they started going all ape! And then I started going all ape (because I HATE abortion) and the next thing I know there's a crowd of people behind us watching *note this is at work*. This "discussion" went on for for about 2o minutes. And then my supervisor came and I thought that she was going to tell us to get back to work but she ended up just joining in our conversation for like another 15 minutes. Surprisingly I had a lot of support from my co-workers and a lot of them thanked me for saying what I did ( it was really werid!!If only you knew my work place) Talking about abortion always hits me funny. Like I know there's lots of horrible things going on in the world but aboration always just presses my buttons more than the others. I guess it's just the ultimate defenseless victim. So these ladies were going on about how we have to accept each other's views and such, and I was like no way! I have nothing personal against you! But there's no way, during every future day that I walk this earth, will I ever agree that aboration is acceptable or that your view is alirght!
Okay so now you are probably wondering why this was the highlight of my day. The reason is b/c everyone at work thinks that we hate each other because of this like...hour long fight we had. But we talked afterwards and we now have a really close connection. Like these ladies on the way out started giving me candy and stuff like that (ooohhh they gave me candy..I sound like such a child). But even though we tore each other apart on this issue, for some reason I feel so incredibly close to these people! Like something really broke loose tonight! And I think it's a start of something that God wants to do in this place. And since everyone in the work place thinks we hate each other, I think the powerful thing will be the fact that quite the oposite occured! The only thing I regrett about tonight is the fact taht I could have brought God more into the conversation, and a little less of the issue itself.

Thats awesome Am. I'm realizing more and more that truth is completely uncompromisable. I guess we've always known this, but lately it seems like so many people are all "whatever's good for you is good for you"...but NO, truth is absolute. Way to go for standing up for truth. That truth is carrying on spiritually right now and will continue to change their lives. Rock on.
