Rembrand's Lost Son

We had a youth evening today. We have it every thuestday actually. The bigwig is Kärt. She is reading (translating and reading!) the book "The Emotionally Healthy Church" for us. Oh and not only that! She is thinking out also activity for us! Last time we had to group feelings. She had lots of feelings on the paper pieces and we had to group them into 2 different groups; negative and positive ones. We got 3 groups. Positeve feelings, negative feelings and the feelings we didn't know where to set. I felt like 7 years old and it was great feeling! <- POSITIVE FEELING! The point of the evening was tha we should break down.

Today we had to watch Rembrand's Lost Son first and then discribe the Father, the Lost Son and his elder brother. And the pont of the evening was that we should identify ourselves with the Lost Son. We should kneel down and put our head into the Father's lap. And the Father here is God. We had to watch into ourselves to see are we elder or younger son and if we found we were elder then what should we do to be younger. Well... who told that life has to be easy and clear...

The other thought what I can remember was that are we able to be as a real family member for our congregation? Are we able to be friendly and opened for others around us? Are we able just to listen others? Are we?

Of course we are!

Till Kärt asked from us that what if our pastor would step into the room now and says he has a problem - it is not going well at work and he has problems with his children and wife, a member of church told to him he is not good in his work, his car just stopped working and he has no transport now and etc., etc. How would we act? Would we feel alright during that? Are we able listen him without big eyes and opened mouth? Ah? Mh?

Just like the ones I used to know

As I told the winter came suddenly. I woke up on a morning and the earth was white. I got my mom's digi cam for use and I have clicked it since then. Of course it is not same what is use a professional camera for pictures but it makes the thing.

Well anyway. The winter came suddendly but it is not leaving so suddenly. It has melted whole day today and my mom knew even that it was raining at 4 AM at night! Jee . . . Why she is not sleeping at this time? Who knows. But it made me sad it was raining again. Winter should be with snow, -5 degrees by Celsius and no wind. -15 is too much and -25 is far more than great winter weather. But I should not complain. We have +0 and it rains. Snow on the streets is black like brownies but won't tast like that. I am sure.

There is one positive thing in all of it. Christmas is comińg and they decorate city with lights. I love blue lights. When it is needed to go to work I have to pass from the park where trees are decorated with 2 diferent blue tones. Jee! I could live there! But yeah, is there snow or not; is there lights like that or not, I can't over from fact I miss summer. The time I don't have to think any study. I can just come home and lie down without feeling guilty that I am not reading or studying anything. Oh SUMMER! I'm longing you!
