American Tourist tries to go deep

But there was no lake to jump into, so she started thinking:

1. Realization: A. likes that the bible is confusing. this occurred to her during a conversation with other americans of various belief systems.
2. She likes that the bible is not cookie cutter instructions, 100% without confusiong because it encourages: 1. Thinking for oneself 2. Making decisions for onself. 3. examination and a thoughtful eye.
3. A remembers the play Waiting For Godot, but she doesn't remember the names of the main characters. But she does remember that one character wants to play a game: having a noose around his neck, with his friend holding the end of the rope so that he doesn't have to make decisions for himself, he must fully rely on friend.
4. A think both christians and non-christians enjoy being told what to do. we like to think in terms of black and white, to put labels on things: good, bad, ugly, pretty because it takes less time, brain power and self examination that gray areas, things without labels, and life without clear instructions.
5. At church today, A. asked for the holy spirit to be there and with her. she recieved it in an unexpected way: conviction. The sermon was on letting your yes be yes and your no no. So simple, such good advice. A. has been shading the truth a lot. A has been involved with department gossip. A. wants out of shaded truth, lies and gossip.

A also wants to go swimming in a lake. or river. or ocean. Good thing in 5 days an ocean will be made available to her!
