Fifth Edition

Cancels class. I'm hanging out in the library, eagerly awaiting the rest of the day. It's a sad combination of film and the like. Canceled first, Movie second, possibly canceled third, movie fourth. This is not the typical unfolding of the typical Friday but as it is I have no desire to Change it. I feel tired. Burnt out and sick of Mr. Kulla's voice. He's my law teacher and the terms and corrections of the speech he is using is starting to ware on me. Not his fault but it happens all the same. Gym is a sad story also; try as she might my dear gym teacher cannot hold the classes attention. She's a good teacher but she's a huge stickler for safety and that ruins a little of the fun. Example: we weren't allowed to do archery because of point tips. History is my favorite subject but it all seems to be going down hill as the year comes to a close. Mrs. Muir is trying her darndest to get back on schedule before the christen holidays and the effect is a lot of boring textbook questions. Mind you there were some questions about Jesus in the previous days work. That brightened my day a little
The textbook makes Jesus look like a regular guy. It's more than a little depressing. It makes his life seem very bland and watered own. It's still a public school system and I guess they can't go into great detail about it without seeming bias and having a bunch of other sects fighting for their constitutional rights to religion. If I wasn't a Christian I might get ticked too if they taught his message against my will. I suppose it's good the way it is and it's not worth changing.
All the same I appear to have been able to waist a little time before my next round of nothing.

  • See the thing is that I laugh at a 'neutral' Jesus, as I think that a Jesus outside of Jesus as the Christ isn't really worth mentioning.

    The thing is, if he was /only/ an average guy (and there were thousands of other average guys, average teachers), then He is not worth studying in a highschool ancient history class. Jesus's revolutions were spiritual ones, if textbooks will not teach on spiritual history (and I don't blame them for not doing it) then thanks, I'd rather not hear about some cheap knock off, neutered Jesus, who is safe enough to put in a highschool textbook.
