New Age Greetings

Today is Sunday. Supposingly all of the Christian shall be going to Church as usual. Do you ever wonder why in Mandarin, they call Sunday as "li pai tien" ? We have "pai yi"(Monday), "pai er"(Tuesday), "pai san"(Wednesday), "pai shi"(Thursday), "pai wu"(Friday), "pai liu"(Saturday) and suddenly "li pai!!"(Sunday) ? How come not "pai chi"(Seventh day) ?!? and people used to say "juo li pai"(meaning having meeting at Church or simply go to Church)...it's worth while to ponder, anyway. Something to do with Christianity and yet everyone is using the term "li pai"(I am counting those non-believers in !).

Meanwhile, pastor always like us to greet each other before the service start. So today's way of greeting would be "God blessed you !"...So, everyone stand up and greet each other by saying "God blessed you !"...Pastor said greet the front, the back, the left and your right. So, everyone followed. In front of me sits a row of teenagers. I tried to greet them and they greet me back with a smile...arrhh, whatever. After that, when those teenagers greet with their friends sitting besides them, and guess what did they say ?

..."Yo, wassup man...wassup !?" ...oh well, is this the new age greetings at CHURCH ? I don't really dare to imagine if these bunch of people will be our future leader. Just imagine if the new age pastor said, "greet your brothers and sisters besides you with "Yo, man..wassup ? check it ...check it...yeah !" ..."

Well, you might think I am exagerating...BUT ! *speechless*...
