Small Group

Joined a small group and we had our first meeting last night.  It's restaurant week so we all went out to eat.  Any group that starts with food is a good group.  :)

I'm watching you Wazowski. Always watching.

2 Corinthians 5:20  "We are ambassadors for Christ." Ambassador - n. -  an accredited diplomat sent by a country as its official representative to a foreign country. I think about this verse a lot, and the implications of it.  Primarily, an ambassador does not live in his own country.  He lives in a foreign land.  I can't be an ambassador to California if I live in California.  I don't need to represent what the state is like to the people around me because anyone else living in the state can see for themselves.  Likewise, we as Christians live on foreign soil surrounded by people that do not understand the culture of Heaven or the person of Jesus.  How do we represent those things to the people around us?  Do we have patience?  Do we have joy? Secondly is that people are always watching.  The things I say, the actions I do are all put under scrutiny.  The number one argument against Christianity is Christians, ...

One week

It's been a week since I last posted.  I'm starting to get into the routine of things over here and developing some friendships.  Last Thursday there was a guys night board game night.  We played Betrayal at House on the Hill.  If you're looking for a spooky time, this game is great.  You wander around a house until some event triggers 'the haunt'.  Then one person randomly becomes the bad guy and you have to try and survive/win.  After a couple games of that we switched to Exploding Kittens which is also really fun.

Ohio!

I made it to Ohio! I had a mini adventure trying to rent a car.  I thought it would be relatively easy.  Just show up, rent one they have and be on the road.  Well apparently the whole city was having a rental car shortage.  The first two places we went to didn't have any cars available.  So Josh drove me to the airport where there were six car rental agencies lined up in a row.  I started at one end where they told me they, and the two companies next to them didn't have any cars either.  The sixth place I went to was going to turn me away but decided they had a sub compact car for me.  A Ford Fiesta. Unlike the name, this car was not a fun party car.  I'm only 5'9" and my head was hitting the top of the car.  The seat was super uncomfortable, and none of the mirrors showed me any of my surroundings.  In order to hold all my luggage, I had to fill up the trunk, the entire back seat and the front passenger seat. Ford Fiesta...
