Okay this blog is not really related to my Radical Journey experience. It's about college being awesome yet expensive.
Just to deal briefly with the "awesome" part: I know I complained and griped and whined and all of that (I can think of better words but I won't say them) about college...but it is a really wonderful place! Eastern is such a blessing and a fantastic place to grow in my faith and in academics. I know I'll be challenged here, and I'm so very excited about all that this experience entails.
Now. Anyway. I just want to say that books are so expensive! And in this new crazy digital age, online passcodes so I can do my French homework on the interent are also so expensive!! I just spent $40 buying one passcode so I can have the basic online account; well, apparently I was supposed to buy another passcode as well so I can buy the workbook online and do my homework that way. Nobody told me that! and that will be another $60!!
It's ridiculous and I'm so tired of spending money on this class. Eventually I'll break down and buy it, especially since my next class is tomorrow, but man I really do not want to. I'm not made of money people, come on.
About Me
- Constance
- I live in South Africa! You better believe it. Ummmm...I'm volunteering with a program called Radical Journey. That is why I am in South Africa. I live with four other people who are also awesome Radical Journeyers. I do odd jobs and try to stay busy. I am here because I want to grow in my faith and see God working in a place I don't understand.
In the name of Allah,the Most Compassionate the Most Merciful.
ReplyDeleteSay, "O People of the Scripture, come to a word that is equitable between us and you - that we will not worship except Allah and not associate anything with Him and not take one another as lords instead of Allah." But if they turn away, then say, "Bear witness that we are Muslims [submitting to Him]."
O People of the Scripture, why do you argue about Abraham while the Torah and the Gospel were not revealed until after him? Then will you not reason?
Here you are - those who have argued about that of which you have [some] knowledge, but why do you argue about that of which you have no knowledge? And Allah knows, while you know not.
Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allah]. And he was not of the polytheists.
Indeed, the most worthy of Abraham among the people are those who followed him [in submission to Allah] and this prophet, and those who believe [in his message]. And Allah is the ally of the believers.
A faction of the people of the Scripture wish they could mislead you. But they do not mislead except themselves, and they perceive [it] not.
O People of the Scripture, why do you disbelieve in the verses of Allah while you witness [to their truth]?
