Sunday Saga
now playing: newsboys - breathe on me
Church today - i woke up at 9:15 to realize that my ride was already in the driveway and had, for all i knew, been waiting there for 15mins. However, i was outside in 3mins flat, and nobody was upset :). i went to farrand street bible chapel (my thunder bay 'home' assembly). I was considering going to lakehead baptist (just for robin) but they were having some sort of sunday school picnic that i didn't really want to intrude on (although we got the leftovers, woohoo!). It was good to be back at farrand street, though. Almost everyone stopped to talk to me, and the chairman made an announcement that i was back (twice). One of the elders made sure i knew that he and his wife were going to have me over for dinner one day... another couple offered me rides whenever i needed them... i had almost forgotten how much that church makes me feel loved. Some of the other churches i could go to have incredible teaching... but it's just not the same as a church where everyone knows your name and wants to take care of you.
After church i got a ride halfway home, to the mall. Went shopping for a bit, bought a bulletin board, got a membership at roger's video, rented a movie... then walked the rest of the way home. I think it took me 45mins to walk. Might have been less if i was wearing shoes instead of berkenstocks, but i made it with only one blister. More relaxing than biking (not to mention less painful, in spite of the blister), and besides, i'd NEVER have been able to bike my bulletin board home.
I watched the movie, Matchstick Men, with some of my friends/roommates/surrogate family. I had already seen most of it, at my brother's place, but i had to leave before it was done. So i watched it again... and couldn't believe all the stuff i missed! I mean, we're talking SERIOUS plot twists, that i had by no means predicted, or even anticipated in any way. Definitely worth the rental - even twice.
Farrand street doesn't have an evening service, so i usually tag a ride with someone else to their church. Tonight, however, i forgot. And i think everyone else forgot about me too, because when i wandered down to the kitchen and realized it was 7:00, everyone else was already gone. I don't mind, though. It's nice to have the house to myself. I cleaned up my room, plotted 46 churches on a map on my new bulletin board, did my laundry, washed some dishes, ate some food, and now i'm going to watch another movie. Or maybe read a book and watch the storm that seems to be about to happen. Oh, there it goes! I love storms :)
Well, that's it for my saga of today. Good thing this doesn't happen very often :)
