African Worship. And Trees. And New Coffee Shops.

Here's our prized find: a cool, independent coffee shop in Richmond. It may take us 40 minutes to get to it, but it's got Soy milk and good music. And it's in a cool part of Richmond.


This is me in front of the South African flag. I really want to go to South Africa. More and more each day.



I drew this on Amanda's journal the other day when I was bored out of my mind. We had been in session after session. I spent a whole day in Anthropology class. Then the next day in Buddhism class. Then three days of memorizing Bible stories and learning how to tell them without the Bible in front of you. Then a class about prayer. I was so braindead. I wanted to climb a tree.

Then we had African worship tonight and I spent the last 10 minutes staring at this tree, trying to see how I could best climb it. I think it can be done. Or at least I could draw it and climb it sometime in the future.


These are "my little friends" playing the jimbay tonight at African worship. It was all outside, barefoot, screaming and hollering and dancing and singing. I wish I could do this everyday!!!

We spent the evening outside, learning worship songs from Nigeria, Zimbabwe, and Botswana. Then we had a preacher from Ethiopia tell us Bible stories. We got to dance around on each other's blankets and say "Holla" alot. It was so cool.

And here is me this afternoon at the Daily Grind, taking pictures with my fun new camera. I just thought this was a cool picture. There is no spiritual significane behind it, although I'm sure I could think of something! How about 1 Corinthians 13: Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror...then, we shall see face to face.
I wish I could see all of you face to face. But believe, me God is working and coming to take us home. I'm not prophesying or anything, I just know what the Word says.
Make sure you reflect the right person.
