Lazy Sunday afternoon
So today turned out to be a much more satisfying day than it initially promised to be. I went to Chapel this morning for the first time since I've been here this summer. (The first Sunday I was here I was sick, and then the second Sunday I was in Italy). My family was late...as usual. Good to know at least some things never change. But besides coming in a few minutes late, the service was decent. Worship involved a lot of songs I wasn't familiar with, most of them in a key that wasn't terribly comfortable to sing in, but even that was OK. God's not so much interested in how we sound as where our hearts are, anyway.
It's funny to think that today was only like the 2nd "church" service I've been to in the past six months. The only other one I've attended was in April when I went to Blacksburg Christian Fellowship to watch my friend Nathan Francis get baptised and hear his testimony. Other than that, "church" has been meeting for house church in various families' homes around Blacksburg. I'm not really sure how I feel about honest to God church services anymore.
After church I spent the afternoon mostly doing nothing, with the exception of one 40 minute "5-minute" job with Tim. Good times...oh, I also ran my brother to the Power Zone and talked him out of purchasing a combination Digital Camera/ Web Cam. The rest of my afternoon was spent trying to drum up people to go swimming (struck out on every attempt). Always sad when you look at the phonebook in your cell phone and the only numbers that are still valid are the service numbers and your own phone number. By the time I finally decided that I wasn't going to get anyone to come swimming with me, it was around five and my parents convinced me to come to a street fest in Wieblingen with them. That was where the evening surpassed it's promise. While the fest wasn't all that exciting, it was still fun. I got to chat with a nice old German man who tried to sell me about 30 novels (in German) for 2 Euro. And I was introduced to the James, friends of my parents who are great (if slightly crazy) people. Hanging out with them after walking around some, beating my dad handily in a game of chess...all in all, a most satisfactory evening.
Alright, that's all for the time being. Later.

from italy?
thanks for the comment.
have a lovely monday.
Bizarre that your friend Nathan was baptised, and yet he is married to Lori Simpson, the bigget liar and manipulator I've ever known. Everyone who really knows her knows that she has been pretending to be Christian, just to land a sucker to give her what she wants. She will lie lie lie to get what she wants. Your friend Nathan has some very bad times coming in his future, once he realizes who he has married.
