Real Life

I have been troubled lately by some common language of people of faith, including my own. we speak often about t he chruch or things that go on in association with the church or 'church-life' and then comparitively we say something like, "...yeah but that's not real life..."

We use this language about college sometimes, "college isn't real life, getting out and getting a job is."

I haven't worked through this too much yet i've just been troubled by it.

not sure it's a 'common language' problem so much as it is a church problem. the common language perhaps is birthed in common sense.

but then again, i don't expect much from 'church life.'
