Care group and bible discussions

I am not going for anymore care group and bible discussions.It is not the fault of anyone in any care group that I don't want to go. I few things comes to mind....

1) I tend to get irritated by people that don't seem to talk sense.

Yes, I am not judging those people. It is just that when I hear people trying to explain things that seems to contradict the bible there is this tension in me that gets me somewhat irritated.... I don't know why. Usually I just keep quiet but after a while it just becomes a drag on me.

2) You tend to get this person that can elaborate with 10000 words a point that can be explained in 20 words or less.

Yes these people will talk and talk and talk just to explain a simple and well understood point. I don't get why can't people get straight to the point without repeating and quoting examples after examples as if the listeners are mental retards. Don't get me wrong, I don't get offended by them I am just really bored hearing them.

3) I learn a lot more about God studying the bible by myself

Yes I can go at my own pace and I can customize the way I study the bible. Besides I feel closer to God reading the bible as I pray. Something you can't do in a group bible study.

4) I rather socialize with Christians outside bible studies.

As I said bible studies with a group of christians is usually painfully boring to me. Studying the bible by myself brings me closer to God because of my alone time with God and His words.

Sure there will be some christian brothers and sisters that might despise me for my decisions but hey that will probably help me with to get friends I prefer. Well hopefully.

Another observation

I haven't blog  a while! Well I have been really busy. Anyway I had an observation today that was profound enough that I have to blog it to keep it in memory.

We all know that if someone brag about themselves it can make them look bad especially if they over do it. It shows their insecurities and that they have a chip on their shoulders.

If you hear very good things about someone from other people he will look very good. However if that same person somehow review through conversations that he is not ashame to admit his weaknesses or vulnerabilities he will look extremely good.

I am not advocating anything here. I met a person like that today and it made a strong impression on me. Genuine confidence is always respected. I wonder why God made us to respect this trait.
