Not playing music. Mike is asleep.
So… Campus Days have descended upon us. If you didn’t think Bethany College was enough like a high school, fill it with visiting high schoolers and see if the resemblance isn’t frightening.
I was hugely amused recently by someone who was talking, over dinner, about how mature he feels now that he’s at college, away from the parents, and experiencing “real life.” Bear in mind that he seldom leaves the campus—and only for social occasions. He doesn’t have a car, he’s never paid rent in his life, the state is paying his tuition, and he’s never filed a tax return—in fact, he was freaking out a little because he’s not sure how to do one and was actually talking about going to H.R. Block so they can help him with the 1040
Yes, it is a little odd that I’m annoyed by immature behavior and yet I’m called to youth ministry. But y’see, I expect immature behavior in kids; so I’m not surprised when high schoolers, say, try to leave a classroom through the window. That’s simply normal adolescent behavior. I expect more from these “adults” that populate our campus… even though a lot of them, just last year, were likewise climbing out the windows. (They’re still doing it, too.)
