Day of Nothingness 2010: A gathering of friends

Surgeons at work

This last weekend I got to partake in a ritual that has been a part of my friend’s life for a while now, the annual day of nothingness. Essentially it’s just a day for a small group of guys to hang out, eat junk food, play games and generally have a great time. Most of the time was spent playing Modern Warfare 2, which is one of my favorite games, so I was happy. But, the event wasn’t problem-free. Our #2 TV, a 50″ Sony LCD wasn’t powering on, so we had to man-handle it and show it who was boss. And by show it who’s boss I mean we removed the back of the television and stared at the mysterious inner-workings of the beast for a few moments.

As you might expect we poked and prodded at the mysterious electrical components, hoping to jar one of the surely misplaced elements into its proper place. After we were sure our work was done we plugged the power cable in (before putting the back on) and amazingly, with God’s wonderful grace, it worked, we had succeeded, though none of us knew what we had done.

We begin furiously screwing the back of the TV on, visions of the head-2-head gaming carnage that would soon take place dancing in our little heads. Finally, what seemed to be the millionth screw was secured in place and we plugged the TV in again to verify that we weren’t imagining things with our earlier test.

Nothingness.

Somehow the Sony LCD had developed a profound and mysterious rejection of its own components, like a body rejecting the gift of a donated, life-giving organ. The only logical solution was to remove the back panel again and use the naked, mechanical monstrosity in its most natural state; throwing off all of the dead weight of components added for the sole purpose of setting the minds of its owners at ease. Sure enough, cover was removed, the TV was plugged in and with the push of a button it was alive again.

In the end the games we were playing didn’t have much system link support, at least not in a way that allowed all 4 of us to play at once, but it was all about the journey. The men we were by the end of day 2 would not have recognized the men of the day before, and it’s not just because they would be so confused by the time machine.

Thoughts from Bible Study Fellowship on 2/23/2010

This last week’s study was over John 14:15-26 where Christ is having one of his final conversations with the disciples before his crucifixion. If you aren’t familiar with BSF (Bible Study Fellowship) I can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s one of the most intensely powerful Bible studies I’ve ever been a part of, but I attribute much of my growth in Christ to the diligence this study requires. New members can come the 1st Monday of every month from September through May each year. If you’re seeking to have a better understanding of God’s Word, to get closer to Jesus, or you’re just looking to force yourself to spend time in the Bible on a regular basis, I encourage you to come! I’ll be happy to meet you there and sit with you.

Anyway, there were some awesome points given in the lecture that followed our small group time so I thought I’d share a few of them with you. First, I encourage you to read John 14:15-26.

A few thoughts from the lecture:

  • Being a Christian isn’t about what you know, it’s about how well you follow.
  • Peace is not the absence of conflict, it is the abiding presence of God in the midst of conflict.
  • Bearing fruit isn’t about what we do, it’s about who we are.
  • Failure is to only succeed in ways that really don’t matter in light of eternity.
