Amazed (or appalled) at fellow human beings behaviour....

What a night!!!

Was out on a social night with the rest of my colleagues last night at this place called b:one at Marriot Hotel..... place was pretty nice with some nice dancce music....

A preview of the place and a write up on www.timeout.com:

b:one
Formerly known as Bar None, the same timber and brick walls have been kept to retain the Manhattan-loft feel. Large frames on the walls display lit photos of NYC, making it seem like you are looking out onto the streets of the Big Apple. Fittingly, the drink prices are skyscraper-high too, with a simple vodka tonic costing $16. But the lead singer, Carrie of Masterplan, (almost) makes it all worthwhile with her electrifying showmanship and big voice. If you are a big-shot VIP or simply looking for some privacy, you can use the two private rooms, one of which is located on a mezzanine level. Otherwise, just plonk yourself on one of the faux-snakeskin stools that line the bar and watch the action unfold.


Anyway....was just amazed....rather appalled at my 'friends' behaviour.....amazing what alcohol intoxication can do to one's mind.....but even more surprising is how some of the females paw on the drunk males ?!? not just allowing, but actually wanting the guys to paw all over them!!

I am even more appalled at the fact that some of these people call themselves Christian.... How sad! How grievious it must be to the Holy Spirit! How it must hurt the heart of God that His children can demean themselves in this manner all in the name of fun/ part of the crowd/ desperation in trying to get themselves a boyfriend or girlfriend or spouse......

That's not to say I do not drink any alcohol or visit any bars or dance to funky music....mebbe not in the usual sense when everyone is drunk and it is just another drunken orgy.....but in the good ol' plain 'clean fun' way.... u know, the way one was at high school outing?!? yes yes...I am outdated...... and old fashion...

Indeed, it is hard to swim against the tide..... and amazingly the topic of my CG's BS this week was from Matthew 5:13- 16 about being SALT and the LIGHT of the world..... How apt! How relevant!

Sigh....

I pray for these friends....that they may see that true satisfaction and peace and love can only come from knowing Him.... and being in His presence.....everything and anything else is just but a sad, sad imitation...... a lousy substitute..... How I wish they knew this truth!
