Biblical Brainstorm

At this moment, I’m ready to crash into my bed, but not yet. We left from Baywalk in Roxas Blvd. about 8:30 PM that’s why I had to struggle to keep myself awake right after I got on the van on the way home. What a day this has been. I actually managed to arrive a little after 7 AM at church this morning. I used to wake up at 8 AM and arrive by 11. Something must’ve gone wrong with me.

What better place to rest. Manila Center Adventist Church. Resting in front of a busy street.

The reason why we’re quite early is because we were assigned to handle the morning worship service on the church in Duyan-duyan, somewhere in Quezon City. Didn’t have breakfast that’s why I was hungry all morning. Now, I’ve broken the habit of eating a lot on all my meals. Will resume tomorrow, though.

Refresher detour. Stairs leading up to the balcony where visitors and new people are given welcome.

I was really compelled by the message during the Sabbath School class. The pastor talked about the Inquisition, the Dark Ages, and then gave relevant information on current issues such as the inflating debt of the US and the controversial papal seat. These are stuff I concern myself with about a lot. It’s a pity I didn’t have more time to dig deeper into these. I really hope that I’d be able to allot some time.

Downward alley. Stairs leading down to the elementary school and master guide rooms.

Acting lazy and sleepy during the break, I just let moments pass by. Before we knew it, it was time for the afternoon AY program. Didn’t like the idea of doing Bible trivia because the congregation was always unresponsive. Well, not today. Finally, I was able to solicit some attention and got satisfying responses for the topic of my discussion. My trivia was about the Pentateuch. Ever heard of it?

Twin doors. Doors in the main entrance, strategically blocking the view from inside out.

That’s the reason why I’m yearning to do a follow-up discussion in another Sabbath. I think that the audience at Manila Center is finally learning how listen and respond. The most active person in the audience, however, was a visitor. Visitors here often become models of zealousness and involvement. Slowly but surely, though, I’m learning the art of combat against most people’s short attention span.
