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.

The Olympics...who cares...

Here's a great piece i heard on NPR yesterday. It's witty and interesting for those who really get into sports but don't really seem to care about the Olympics and never know why.
peace
