Test Question

Hello for the third time today.  I promise this will be my last post today.  I have already explained what I did today in the last post.  So I will get right into the topic I want to talk about.  We had to take a test today, I do not remember the name, but it is one of those tests used to tell what type of person you are.  It was basically six questions asked 180 times.  They were all about are you a dreamer or realist, do you put others or yourself first, do you break the law if it gets you what you want, are you quiet or out spoken, ect.  All the questions were statements and then you had to mark true or false wither they applied to you or not.  I was flying through the questions pretty fast just putting the first answer that popped into my head until this one question. I read it and went to answer real quick, but just stopped.  I actually put my pencil down to reread it.  Then I skipped it and answered a few more before I went back, copied it down, and then eventually answered it.  It just hit me like a brick wall.  The question was: "Guesses about the future are more interesting to me than facts about the past:"  Now this is not really a religious debate, but like I said this blog is just something from my day that stuck with me.  Now you may have already laughed and know exactly how you would answer that.  But like I said my mind was baffled and had no idea wither that was true or false to me.  I am a history major so one would think it would be easily false.  However, many of you may not know this but I am a day dreamer from way back.  I spend a majority of my day in my own head just thinking about where my life is going, cool things i wish would happen in my lifetime, or cute girls I wish would come up to me and pronounce there unspoken love for me ;).  In my day dreams, many do pertain to the future.  Plus much of my history I have learned was used to see how history repeats itself and how it affected the future after it and how will our recent history affect our future.  So it was really a matter of deciding if my love for history out weighed my passion for day dreaming about the future.  Then I started to think about it more in the spirit of being at the seminary.  Does my love for learning the ancient facts of the Bible out weigh my hopes for the future of the Church?  Would I rather read the stories of the Old and New Testament (because remember those are true events from history that really did happen not just stories in a really big book), or would I rather think about my ministry and goals as a pastor for my future church and out reach?  Then I got kind of mad and thought what is the point of one without the other.  We need the past to learn so we can have hopes and goals for the future.  It simply wasn't a fair question.  Then I reminded myself it was one out of 180 questions on a test used to see what type of personality I have and isn't really life or death.  You want to know the funny part?  I wrote the question down to make sure I wouldn't forget exactly how it was worded, but now as I am typing this I can't remember how I answered it.  I stopped cold in my tracks and put so much thought into this one question to write this much about it, and now I can't remember how I answered.  I am sure my history side probably took over to hide my day dreamer side.  But now I ask you, how would you have answered that question?  P.S. if you think I am completely nuts for thinking this hard on one question I'm ok with it.

Dear Heavenly Father, 
You put questions and complications in our lives to make us think about what we believe and why we believe it.  We don't always have the answers, or agree on the answers we do have, but you have blessed us with free thought and opinion.  However, no matter what questions or conflicts you place before us, let us never forget we can turn to our past, looking at the life of Your Son on earth and His apostles and disciples to find our answers in Your Word that You gave to us.  Let us also not forget to use those past experiences and answers to look to the future with goals and aspirations of spreading Your Word and faith just as Christ, the disciples, and apostles did.  Use us here in our present times to leave a past full of Your Love for those in our future.  In Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer we pray. Amen.
