senior banquet

Senior banquet was last night.

What argument do we have in defense of our faith, when faced with this world's suffering? Christ's pure, unconditional, and unrequited love. No other argument comes close.
- Joung (liberally paraphrased)

No one will remember what you say at senior banquet, only how you looked.
- Dennis

Okay, so the second statement is only partially true. I really only remembered two things. Ephraim remembered more, I'm sure, he was taking notes.

As for the first, there was a quote Joung used from Brothers Karamazov, by Dostoevsky. I will have to read that book someday, along with The Idiot, which Bonnie mentioned once a few months back. I believe God's relationship with us was compared to a rich man's proposal to a prostitute. God's goodness is greater than our unworthiness.

hi matt.

unfortunately i regret not saying more things, though for some reason that night i was cynical at how much i could say and really capture what i wanted to say.
