Is this wierd?

A friend of mine just recently visited Georgia. She said that the people were hospitable, kind, respectful and polite. There was a church on every corner and it was the norm to go to church on Sunday.  She wanted to move there pronto. My emotional response was not what I expected. I thought, “wierd.” Hmmm, weird because it’s not what I am used to or weird because my goal is not to surround myself with christians at all times of the day? After giving it somemore thought, I realized that I have been so consumed with making friends that are not just like me, that my desires have changed. I don’t want to live in a community where everyone thinks the same things and acts the same way. I like the diversity, I like to hear thoughts that are different from mine. I like the idea that those that are not like me might bring something fresh to my life.
What are your thoughts?

Isn’t that what we are striving not to do? I mean you, me, Heath and so on…And you’re right you’ve never had predictable or conventional relationships. You’ve always been attracted to people who are different from you. I think that is one of your “gifts”, if you will. I can’t remember. Do you have woo?

[…] Just when I thought I was going to go to sleep, I had to check the little active bookmark for Voxtropolis at the top of my screen and decide to read a couple of them when http://cindy.voxtropolis.com/2006/07/06/6/ was there for me to read. Of course this had to bring up other things that I have been thinking about…which started my brain up with thinking again. […]

i think it’s neccesarry to surround yourself with christians to prepare you to go out to the people that don’t think like you do. and i think you are just on the next step.
