"Heard you on NPR" - Matthew Nelson Mason

Brother Jed,
I was a college student at Tennessee Technological University. I Totally agree with your way of teaching and preaching. My first semester, I had a sociology class. Our teacher told us that we all have to be open minded to other ways of thinking, that it would make us better people, and make the world a better place, I guess. There were a wide variety of people in the class, Catholics, Jews, Homosexuals and a few Muslims. It seemed to me that everyone would get to have their time to share their viewpoints on all the different topics we discussed in the class, except when it would come to me, she wouldn't want to hear what I had to say, because she knew that I see things from a Christian viewpoint, and if I was to start, everyone would just get to arguing, and nothing would get accomplished. Also, she was backwards on every single subject, for example, Abortion was right, Sex outside of marriage was too, Drinking, partying.
I guess what I'm saying is, I really like what you are doing, and I know how college students can be, but I also know that people like you have made a huge difference in the past. I have a lot of other things to discuss with you, but I will save them for another time, thank you for your ministry.
