My first summer here at Oak Ridge we took some students to Youth Wave in Austin. This event, like any event, has good and bad points. One of the things that I liked most about the week was the time spend each night with just our students. It was myself and Stacey along with Teryn Mize, Kyle Davis, Andrew Harmon, and Brian (can't remember his name…ask me in person why!). We have some really good discussions that week about heaven, hell, Jesus and everything in between. One discussion that I will never forget was an argument between Andrew and I over whether or not it was possible for a human (you or me) to be perfect like Jesus was perfect. If we started to right now, was it possible to go the rest of our lives without sin. Andrew was on the "no way" side and I argued that "with God" all things are possible. That may sound cheesy now, but think about it…
Im not sure what I believe now. I have flipped and flopped numerous times since that discussion at Krispy Kreme in Austin. 1 Peter brings this whole idea rushing back into my head. Christ was an example for me so that I may follow in his steps. Really? Is that even possible and at what level? I think the right answer and the life that follows are too hard so I would just rather say that we can't be perfect so I can keep my life simple.
