Mishaps in Spain no.5
Submitted by tgeorge on Fri, 2006-10-13 14:28
This is Timothy George just back from his trip to Zaragoza. It was a huge festival. I´m not even sure what it was about, but it was very big. We stayed in a great big fancy hotel, smack dab in the middle of the city for three days. I took about five hundred pictures in all of the whole thing, including the old monastary that we stopped at on the way back. The monastery was actually one of my favorite parts. Actually not the monastery itself, but the surrounding trails, gardens, waterfall, tunnels, ponds, etc. It reminded me alot of what heaven is going to be like. I was so beautiful! Three hours there was much too short. I barely made it back to the bus on time, but I did make it back on time, and I was not the last person, so they weren´t waiting for me. During the festival, along the street, there were these people that would dress up in silver and paint themselves silver and then stand on a box perfectly still with a container in front of them when someone would drop in a coin, they would start to move. Either stroking a silver apple or flower, or riding a silver horse etc. It was very odd. One guy even had a tail. It was kind of creepy too. I got a lot of pictures as I already said, so if anybody wants any just email me. If anybody from Southern reads this please email me and tell me about all the interesting things that are going on at our beloved University. Update on Hernan. He just told me the other day that he doesn´t belive in evolution anymore, because Dragus explained a lot of things to him. So I asked him if he now belived in creationism. He said that he does kind of. The thing is he still doesn´t really want to accept that there is a God, even though now he sees how utterly ridiculous it is to believe in evolution. BTW, Christopher, thanks for the comment. That is very true. Until next time. »

Hernan must not have been a very staunch evolutionist -- but I don't really get how you can believe in creation but not beleive in God. I'm sure the explanation would be very interesting.
It sounds like Hernan is more searching than anything. What a great opportunity to share what you have and introduce him to God.
I'm praying for you.

Well, Hernan is only 16. I get the impression that he is trying to rebel against his parents in an clandestine way. He is always very polite to them, but neither of his parents believe in evolution. I think your right that he is still searching, but I think that he is also, just like a lot of other people trying to find an excuse for his sinfulness rather than just admitting it and letting God forgive.
I get the impression that neither of his parents are very strong christians, in fact I think that only one actually professes to be.
