-Jen and I went surfing on Monday, the first time we have been in the water since the shark attack. The surf was 2-3 ft. and glassy, it was about 70 degrees and sunny, and the winds were very calm. As I was riding a wave, th sun who shine through the water is it would break behind me, like the water was an emerald. Beautiful. It was a day that reminded me how much I love living in San Diego.
- As we were sitting out there in the water a school of little fish were jumping around. Jen was freaking out, imagining a 17 ft. Great White chasing a school of 4 inch fish. I laughed. I'm so sensitive.
- In case you were wondering if I was nervous about going into the water, rest assured, I made Jen go out first to see if any predators were lurking. I'm so sensitive.
- I got into a conversation with a Jehovah's Witness at a coffee shop. He saw that I was translating Greek and started a conversation. He just wanted to talk about the end times and how America is the new "Babylon." I wanted to talk about the Trinity (which he doesn't believe in) and how absolutely essential that is to who God is. He didn't want to go there. I found myself angry afterwards at his theological beliefs.
- We had a farewell party last night for the high school pastor at the church. It was a great celebration and very encouraging for him. It has been fun to be a part of a healthy positive parting between church and staff. Not always the case. I will be taking over the high school group for the next 6 weeks. Pray for me. I want these 6 weeks to be a spiritually challenging and affirming time for these students.
- Speaking of church, I had the opportunity to facilitate a worship night at Daybreak last Sunday night. It was nothing big but the first opportunity I have had to be a part of the larger church. I was really nervous, which was a strange feeling, but had a good time leading God's people in a time of worship. I struggled explaining the Lord's Supper though. Such a mysterious and beautiful connection to Christ that is hard to explain in 5-7 minutes. I kept running in circles as I prepared for the evening. When the time came I froze and did it in 3 minutes.
-Really excited about the Spurs-Hornets matchup. Should be fun to watch. CP3 might be my new favorite non-Laker (now that Nash is out). I know that I predicted a Celtics-Lakers finals, and I think it could happen, but I would also love to see them lose to the Hawks.
- Lastly, I am hungry and am in desperate need of coffee. Viacondios.
