Opening thoughts

i was driving home that other day, from my 8-5 job, and i was thinking about the church my wife and i go to. about how i can get evolved. but then my thought turned to the college ministry, why well a couple of weeks ago i ran in to a girl who is now in college. The last time i saw her she was in 7th grade. that makes em feel old. i also found out that her brother was at the same college. so i started thinking about my college life, and then i started thinking about my single life after college and before i got married. my back ground is in the church of christ, that is how i grew up. we are not perfect, but no one is. the coc does some good thing, good and some bad thing bad, and the coc does not do something at all. the coc is lacking in a good strong singles ministry. by singles i mean that age right out of college until your married . where you do not have kids, and your not in college any more. This is a lost age group in the coc, when i was in the singles group i felt like an out cast, since i was not married or have kids i was just a second class member. now i know then singles group is hard, cause we are all working, but there are some better ways to do singles coups out there. to start i think it is what is thought in sunday school, i know different churches do different things, and now most of the church studys the same thing in every class. but i think the coc needs to build a singles program from the ground up. there are plenty of single people in the bible who did great things. the singles need to study those people, and needs to study how to live a christen single life. sunday school need to teach the singles that being single is ok, is a good thing, not to get down that the world is tell you to go out and get drunk and sleep around, not to get the feeling that you are a second class member cause you do not have kids. i have this study, this feeling that i have had for years, about this class this bible study for singles, i keep coming back to paul. when the chruch thinks of single people in the bible they think of jesus christ and paul. over the next couple of weeks i hope to flush this idea and this class out to you on this blog.

with faith, hope, and love
