I met Fred*
November 10, 2008
Hi,
today I met Fred. As I was writing, I was wondering what he was doing. So today was the day to find out I thought. He still looked very tired and sad. I told him, what I was thinking. He did not comment on that, but started to ask me questions on what I was doing. So I told him. New Job, Family, my journey with Jesus etc…
Then he told me. He told me his journey and I was simply perplex to find out, that he was solidly integrated in the empire. Wow! I never thougt that. He was very strong on his biblical standpoints and the everything was has to grounded in the word of God, etc…
The thing that confused me was not that much his standpoint, but the way he expressed or showed me his convictions was rather disappointing. He behaved like a guy from the spiritual elite. It was not really possible to connect with him. I felt, that I was in one of his boxes and not able to jump out.
Well, I thought this was a god thing and it maybe was. But I do not really understand what happend. After a hour or so, we said goodbye. He was very bussy…
