6:57 I get a call from Sam G-unit. Which was hard for my recently awakened brain to comprehend, considering I was suppose to be in the lobby at 6:45 to leave for church. In a scratchy, sleepy panic I uttered, "I slept through my alarm." But in reality I didn't sleep through anything, that alarm flat out did not go off! Dang! A few of us had signed up to help our church, Christ Fellowship, with the homeless ministry that happens on Sunday mornings. It starts around 7 and the church provides showers, haircuts, and meals, followed by a message. Then at 11 another service begins. We all met in the lobby and rode the people mover (it's like a monorail), the free public transportation, to church.
It was a great service similar to what I've heard coming out of Mars Hill. I'm pretty sure the sermon was modeled after Mark Driscoll's one on dating. The worship time was intense! A really talented band, almost reminded me of something hillsong. So that was really great and pleasant.
Came home and ate some spaghettios I really need to go to the store already and get bread and such. But so far I've been good on meals.
Last night we had a progressive dinner where we had different courses in the staffs' rooms around the condo (and we are talking some NICE rooms!!) We were split into groups of about 13 or so. Our groups order was very interesting...... desert, followed by punch, then appetizers, then salad, then main course (LASAGNA!). So that was kind of funny. It was cool though because it each room we got to meet/talk with the staff on a smaller group basis and we had discussion questions that everyone could answer. For example, one was "What movie start would you have play you in a move of your life?" I said Meg Ryan! Before she got weird.
Today is a rest day. No meetings or anything untill tonight we have a blocked out two hours for reflection with God etc. They have some materails for us to use I think. And we were also given a book we will read through and disucss. So anyway, that is what has gone on thus far today. Hope to swim later!
(P.S. I wore the white skirt today, Mom) =]
