home

so i've been home a little over 24 hours and i've discovered a number of things:
- lots of korean food is disastrous on the stomach
- there's a reason why i don't go clubbing or drink: i don't want to end up being asked out by some 40-year-old guy that looks like he's 21... sorry, friend
- even though the church i go to here is really small and may be a bit old fashioned... nothing comes close to the sense of community it has. even though they may play the same songs, it's still great
- i really miss the ppl at eu... :(

during the morning service, pastor Y talked about how we shouldn't simply be spectators in our faith, but doers. he cited a passage out of 1cor9:19-27. he also announced that the evening service was going to feature a message by shane claiborne, author of IRRESISTIBLE REVOLUTION. i could barely sit in my seat in anticipation to hear what this guy had to say. I had read IR last year and wanted to immediately move to PA to be a part of this movement.

after church, i went out to lunch w/ some ppl from church. it was a great time to catch up w/ everyone. after that, i meandered around wal-mart for a long time after a phone call w/ leash... it was nice to meander without having to worry about where i had to be. i found a postcard of a cat and it reminded me of craig, dan, and scott and their fb profile pics.

coming to the evening service, i got to chat w/ more ppl. i bought a planner from wal-mart and i'm already putting things into it for next semester. i'm really excited to be doing my practicum and getting out in the community.

after service, i got to chat w/ auntie kathy, my sunday school teacher. she prayed w/ me about something that's been on my mind...

i miss my eu friends.... i don't know another place where i can find such a high concentration of eccentric individuals that understand and appreciate my idiosyncracies.

i hope this summer goes by fast.
