Have you ever felt like you’re on the outside looking in? Being a college student has done that to me. I’ve lost all sense of home and belonging and there are very few places I can call my own. The result is that I’m an outsider wherever I go. The most interesting thing is how I’ve become an outsider in the one place I should truly be an insider–church. And let me tell you, the view from the outside is a little strange. I never before realized just how odd of a bunch we Christians are. We’re constantly preaching to each other and constantly not listening. We’re like robots pretending not to be robots, which was a phrase I saw on the back of a t-shirt today and thought it was rather appropriate.
