Andy Braner week.

Andy Braner from camp KIVU came to our school the whole week to speak to us in chapel. The first day he pretty much introduced himself and his family and asked up two basic yet complex questions: "Is the sky really blue"and "Is God real", and he answered the last question throughout the week he was here.

Believe?(day1)

He challenged us in what we believed on tuesday. he taught us about objective and subjective truth. Objective truth (good truth) this means we know what we know is true. Subjective truth (not so good truth) its when we are influenced by others opinions.

Behave? (day 2)
Andy gave us five points for this day:

 You are what you eat
           -What you put in your body is what your body becomes
           -Same is true for your spiritual life
2. Junk food changes your physical shape just like thoughts change your behavior
           -What you spend your time thinking about is what you become
3. Junk food causes heart problems and confuses your body's natural function, just like unhealthy spiritual things can confuse your spiritual life
           -What you put in is what you get out
4. Junk food tastes great in the short term, but in the long term leads to adverse side effects
           -Watch what you put in your head
5. An apple a day keeps the doctor away
           -Put good spiritual things in your body at least once everyday



On Thursday (day 3-4) this is the day that i need to work on personally, he taught us about how the media affected us like on facebook and our music choices he showed us three music videos

1. Just the way you are, Bruno Mars
2.Teenage Dream, Katy Perry
3. Rehab, Rihanna
4. Love the way you lie, Eminem ft Rihanna

the first song is good secular  spiritual food Bruno is explaining how she is beautiful just the way she is, unlikd the three other songs Teenage dream is explaining false love and Rehab and love the way you lie represent obsession which is not TRUE LOVE.

Belong? (5) andy explained on this day is that all we want to do is be with other people and we just want to be understood by others.

Suming this up having Andy all week was awesome and i learned so much (:
