Centennial. Day 118.

As excited as I was about getting to be in the new chapel,
I can honeslty say that now I am dissapointed.
Not in the "majesty" of it,
but in the fact that I am talking about and hearing
about the "majestly" of it.
It's a building, a building.
When I hear about it, I feel like we should be talking
about what God can do with it,
Not what we have done to it.
And the big metal pipe organ sitting right in the middle
is like a shot to the face.
Talking about "high-standard" schools that have
a pipe organ, kind of makes me wonder where our values have laid.
I believe we are bringing campus together, but where else could that money have gone?
Donated yes, but isn't there a greater need than to build what in my eyes is just
"a big fancy place to whorship." What is the world seeing when they look at that?
Outreach? Beautification? Selfishness? Boast? Love?
I'm not upset, I just feel guilty.
