Why so glum chum? - Sunday

I got up and went to call on Freya to see if she was going to come to Church, she had gone to work so I was only walking Siän today. This week we had a guest speaker and I'd asked to not be helping with Discoverers. Tim was our guest speaker and is from the Lawyers Christian Fellowship (yes, Christian Lawyers Fellowship makes more sense to me too). This morning he spoke from John 1 and about how a world in Darkness does not want to see the light, for they know what it brings. He used the example of some prisoners awaiting a death sentence, they didn't want to see the lantern as they knew it'd be held by their executioner. After the service the lot of us went to the Thatched House and had to wait some time for our meal but it wasn't too bad a wait. I was originally going to go for the "old reliable" that is the Half Roast chicken but due to not finding anybody else going for a similarly priced meal I upgraded to a Sunday Roast Dinner and partnered with Becca. It still involved a Half Roast Chicken but also included a load of other stuff. I even ate a lot of the vegetables. We had quite a lot of fun during our meal. Fi (Steve's Girlfriend) was down for the weekend and was sitting next to me, I'm probably not the best influence on her seeing as with my suggestion she threw a pea down Sarah's top and managed to embarrass herself another way (this was not my fault and not too related to me). After the meal I went over to Steve's house then collected Becca (but not Siän, she had work to do) and went to Church where Tim spoke on some of John 2, specifically the part where Jesus sorts out the people in the temple. Now, the best part of the message for me was not in itself the message. It was true and all but I learnt something new that was not the message but caused by it. I talked to Pauline Mitchell after the service about how Jesus says to turn the other cheek yet at the same time Jesus clearly acted in a physical way to the people who were being very unholy. He stuck up for his belief. My question was "If I am walking someone home and they're attacked, what do I do? Jesus says to turn the other cheek and yet I'm also told that violence is not the answer". It turns out that the turning of the other cheek is not actually to sit there and let someone get beaten up. It refers to insults and challenges, namely you would turn the other cheek and ignore the challenge/insult, however, it does not say to not defend people that need it. Of course, crippling someone is probably not needed so you have to apply some common sense and love your neighbor. I walked Becca home, walked back home myself and failed to get a game of Warcraft 3 running because of a problem with our Router and my computer (very irritating). I watched some Family Guy and for some reason, don't feel very happy. My day was great, one of the best Sunday's I've had in a while. Heck, recently I've been feeling slightly dead when it comes to my faith, I know it's real but I don't feel it. This is irritating. Today has helped a lot with it but for some reason I feel almost depressed and I can't figure out why. I currently hope it's because I might not have had enough sleep and that the problem will solve itself.
