I am currently writing this entry from my professor's office while he's away doing some other stuff.
I am in desperate need of not being me for the moment - there is one particular thing that is on my mind that kills me whenever I think about it, and I can do nothing about it.
On a separate note, I'm going to soon run out of Calvinists to talk to, which is a problem because I've done a lot of my learning from them.
- A good friend of mine who first introduced that doctrine to me - I have a feeling he's going through something so it's a bit difficult to talk to him as he isn't as active online as he was before
- A friend of his is in another service. We don't see each other much precisely because of the differences in service times, and people might find our sudden friendship across services awkward
- Another friend of his is in another country. While I'm helping him to edit some stuff, we don't know each other well enough to carry on a conversation. We might get to that point one day, just not at the moment
- My beloved housemate, while she definitely holds more towards Calvinistic than Arminian soteriology is still learning, like myself
- A new found friend of ours who actually is not hostile to the soteriology which we hold to is just starting to learn more, and naturally I can't learn from him
- My beloved op513, while they are great people, I do not know them well enough. I don't chat to any of them on msn nor write to them, with the exception of the team leader which I update for the purposes of accountability. But I'm not very close to any of them
- A friend of mine who is going through some leadership issues has a girlfriend and so it's difficult to get time with him to learn
- Oh, and virtually everyone else near to me is either closer to Arminianism, completely ignorant of the doctrines to which they either implicitly or explicitly hold to, or are more Calvinist but have no time to teach me...
- There are a great number of teachers online, but I do need someone to look up to
It is just DIFFICULT. The next big question is this: where are all the female Calvinists!?

LOL. You speak in riddles that only a few would understand. :P
Finally an updated blog entry.
To be honest, the prevailing view in the so called evangelical church (which is no longer evangelical for most parts) is not Arminianism either, but more to pelagianism/semi=pelagianism; and that is a heresy.
What make you think that your friend is going through something? Just ask him. Haha
