Here I are doing things that I could forty days ago.
1. Sitting in a comfortable cafe with stable, fast wifi, people around me that understand my English, with a car right outside to take me wherever I want.
2. Reading publications for a project with Dr. Venkatraj (V) (on that fast internet connection)
3. Ordered the new Mac OS ONLINE!
4. Visited Carl and Sandy Williamson of Calvary Baptist Church in Cleveland, Texas. Wonderfully refreshing getting to talk to folks with the same beliefs who have seen the same things that I have. It was a tremendous blessing.
5. Talked with Dr. V about a new project in his office. Got to talk a little about what I believe. He is open but, he is open to everything so it is a tough one to get through. Will keep working though, the Lord keeps he and I close for a reason I know it.
6. There are only old people here in College Station in the Summer... oh no...
7. Get to go home here in a bit to my family and just chill, throw horseshoes, watch a dumb movie on TV, or whatever else Huntsville dares to offer.
This time here in between is beautiful. I get to try and catch up with those that I missed out on a year of life with before I take off to rebuild in Redding. Oh ya, that is all but done now. Lots of prayer and lots of talking to folks who know has made me very comfortable with that decision.
The Journey will continue but, hopefully I will get into the habit of posting more pictures on this next leg. Should be filled with early mornings on lofty peaks and sunsets on the lake.
All is, well, see title. Have a beautifully blessed Weekend!
Jake, having done Lusaka, your spiritual, mental, emotional and physical fitness well prepared you for anything coming your way.
ReplyDeleteJust realized that the purpose of that exercise was multi-purpose.
Can't think of any endeavor that could make you even start to flinch.
Glad to see you are taking the time to recharge and enjoy College Station.
But wait. Number 6. "Old People"?? What's wrong with "Old People"?? Look here, you young whippersnapper. We know a thing or two! Laughing... knowing I would have said the same thing and probably did.
Love
Uncle Bill
