- I’ve always feared taking a cruise, there’s something about being isolated out in the middle of the ocean that terrifies me. It seems like the cruise industry has hit a lot of bad luck recently, and the stories of eating cold onion sandwiches and having to defecate in plastic bags and then set them outside the door is enough for me to just stay on land.
- For the heck of it I decided to check out the Carnival home page thinking they would somehow address passenger safety or that ship stranded in the Gulf, but for now, nada.
- I met with my pastor yesterday to discuss deacon stuff but I also asked him the difference between evangelism and proselytizing. His answer was very detailed, which took a good 20 minutes to answer.

What happened to the killer soundtrack of The Americans? It's all generic TV music now.
I'm a Duke fan even tho they are the "rich Yankees". Absolutely the most beautiful college campus I've ever seen.
While having 3,000 freaked out passengers with onion breath probably is a huge buzzkill, I think that as long as the booze held out I'd be just dandy. On the bright side, everyone is getting a full refund, $500 cash and a free cruise at a later date out of it.
To evangelize is simply to share the good news about Jesus with another person. The word itself means "good news" or "glad tidings." To proselytize is to seek to convert another person. Proselytizing can happen when someone from any religion or persuasion attempts to change the beliefs of people who hold different beliefs. But evangelizing is a specifically Christian term referencing the 1st Century spreading of the news about Jesus: his life, death, and resurrection.
Oftentimes people who spread the good news (evangelize) do so with the ultimate intent to convert their hearers. But the verb itself does not include that intent per se.
Hope this helps.
