Portrait of Facebook Friend Unknown

Scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed today I happened upon a post from a fellow member of the 2006 St. Joseph High School graduating class. The post invited me to check out her blog and being a fellow blogger and general snoop of people I barely know I gladly accepted the invitation. What I found was a strange bizzaro version of my own blog. The central concept of the blog is her journey with the "new testament challenge," a call from her church to the congregation to read the entirety of the new testament. She writes about each verse she finds interesting and explains how it only affirms her faith in every possible way.

Some excerpts:

"I found encouragement when it said in Acts, "...they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah."  Can you imagine never stopping teaching and proclaiming the good news?!  That is so awesome."

"I learned that our God, my God, is awesome.  Simply put - he is awesome.  There is so much in just those short eleven pages that I learned today and that is in God's love letter to me!  How many religions and beliefs have a whole love letter written directly to them?  None that I'm aware of. "

It's a strange bubble of someone else's life and how God plays an integral role in it. I have thus far resisted posting a comment giving me views of the same verses. Though I very much liked hearing the Christian perspective on my posts I'm not sure if the reverse would be well appreciated, especially when it's a person you haven't interacted with over 6 years. The blog is not poorly written though, and if Facebook tells me when the next entry is I'll probably read it.
