Did I tell you that Alex got drunk the other night? He told me he was going to Dustin's graduation party and that he was going to drink, and he knows how I feel about drunkenness. I don't mind if he drinks a little, but drunkenness is not acceptable. So about 4am I woke up to a text from him that he had sent around 3am. It said something to the effect of "I would rather be with you than anywhere near here tonight." So I texted him back and find out he got pretty drunk. He said he thought he stopped when he needed to, "but it kept working." -No duh, even I know that that happens.
We interrupt this blog for.... AHHH! My favorite song just came on the radio! YAY! (Good Morning Beautiful by Brad Paisley. Tim McGraw and I think Keith Urban have done covers.)
Anyway, so I was pretty upset. However, his phone died (he had warned me, I know he wasn't lying) when we were talking about it at around 4:30am. I was contemplating leaving him the entire next day, during church and at work. I tried to pray about it, but felt really uneasy. I have to give him credit though, he told me what happened. He told me when it happened. He came to me and was honest. He didn't have to do that and he knew how I felt about drinking. I believe him that he didn't mean to get drunk.
So we talked about it and I told him if it ever happens again, there's no second chance the next time. I know where I stand on drinking, but I also know the culture he grew up with and how it views drinking. I know he didn't drink while at Asbury the entire year and he says he stopped drinking his senior year in high school. Bleh, alcohol.
But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said:
"Wake up, O sleeper,
rise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you."
Ephesians 5:13-14
