yesterday was real cool. a whole bunch of people came over to megg's place for a barbecue, just to hang and spend time in good company. our friends "riddle the roar" played some music, along with joe, jay, and me. it was a good time, getting to meet up with friends, meet some new people. i even got to meet up with a friend from high school that i hadn't seen in a good while. alisha happened to be a friend of brittney's, and it was totally unexpected. crazy cool!
life just felt really gnarly right now. i was just thinking about how different things seem to have been away from point loma. it's like, when you're in a place, you're aware--conscious--of the fact that you're there and aware of the people who are there with you. now that i'm not there on the daily, i guess i've just become aware of different things. home life. my home church. my family. it's not a bad thing, either. though i do feel like i'm missing a piece of me, of something i love. i really miss being around everyone. there are still a lot of friends here, living in the area, and a lot of students living and working on campus, taking classes and i'm thankful to get to see them often. i think what i miss is simply what happens when we're all there in that place together. there's definitely something about that, about being together. "Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching" [Hebrews 10:25, NIV]. amen.
"we are one tonight." +
