Digging it up again
a response to Dre's "Running it into the ground (Part 1)" - posted on 03.09.06
So, I have to ask myself, "Shonnie, do you want to use this post and your valuable time to defend yourself against being taken as probably the most boring person in the world?".
My answer is, "No".
But, I'm going to do it a little anyway. It's inevitable. There are just a couple of things that I want to make clear for the sake of truth.
1. "...and allow the Lord to place you in a group that will best highlight that which you are naturally good at like HAVING FUN!!!!"
Is there anyone that doesn't like to have fun? I mean, fun as a ministry "style"...come on. I think that's stretching your point a little, right? Everyone likes to have fun (with a few exceptions, I'm sure). I do agree with you that there is a time for everything.
2."...first of all, why watch Hotel Rwanda every day!?!? If you'd choose to watch a meaningful, social-statement movie, over a comedy I could understand, but if literally you'd watch HR over ANY Adam Sandler movie that would be whack!"
Indeed. First of all I didn't say that I would, I said that I hope that I would. Second, I was putting myself in the position of ONLY being offered those two options...HR or any adam sandler flick.
3."I take your statement above as this 'I'd be perfectly happy, never to watch another mindless comedy for the rest of my life' ".
I think you took a lot of liberty in taking my statement that way. I love mindless comedy, granted different mindless comedy than you, but mindless comedy none the less. Billy Madison has to be one of my favorites.
Over all, the statements I've made have been made in order to question if what I want and what is best are the same things. I like to have fun, a lot. I meant this is me we're talking about. I stay up until all hours of the night hanging out and love to sing karioke. I'm just trying to find the medium.
