A Mixed Bag of Fun & Disappointment

Tonight I went to a game night with a bunch of my new friends from my new church. It was AWESOME! I'm an only child so I'm quite deprived when it comes to game experience but I was quite proud of my performance. We played Mad Gab & Encore-neither of which I have previous experience playing & I am happy to say that I dominated Mad Gab!!! That's def a new fave game of mine :0)

After game night, most of us went to the 7-11 down the street for some snackage and parking lot loitering. During that time I said something to a friend of mine. This friend legit took offense to what I said. I was quite shocked because I'm pretty sure if anyone else I know had heard what I said, they would've thought it was funny-as it was intended to be. This friend wasn't personally offended, they're just an uptight Christian and ths felt it was inappropriate. I promise you my statement was no such thing. I'm still shocked that my friend reacted that way! It just really disappointed me to have my friend react that way to such a harmless and funny statement. There's a big diff between where humans draw the line & where Jesus draws the line & I seriously doubt Jesus would've dislike what I said...seriously! I highly dislike discovering uptight Christians, especially if it's someone I considered myself close to. In truth, I've been noticing their uptight nature over time and tonight was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Now I don't feel like I can be myself around my friend. Of course Jesus' judgement is the only one that matters but it still makes for a highly uncomfy situation to be on edge about everything you do or say around someone to avoid tripping their alarm of uptightness. Ah well, I'm just going to have to withhold my true self from my friend and pray that I find Christian friends that don't nitpick...
