A day of rest. After a long weekend the only thing I could do was rest. Friday was one of the most extreme days I've had this year. Seeing that it is only the 9th day that's not saying much. But it did include a full day if skiing at silver mountain with my dad and Jessie Ward. And then a two hour drive to Chawela where we danced the night away. I had a fantastic time and got to see some good friends from my awana days, the Pecks. I am very grateful for my sisters. They dance so well and often help me avoid awkward situations with people I'm not sure I'd like to dance with. I'm also grateful for them for a plethora of other reasons that would take pages to detail. After another two hour drive I was very tired and very ready to hit the hay.
Saturday was mostly a day to finish the chores I failed to finish during the week. But it was also the day of the Seahawks big game. They beat the champs from last year the Saints. It was the first game I've watched this season and it was probably the best one I've ever seen.
Today then was a final day of rest. After an inspiring and challenging message I then came home thought about it and took a nap. Not that the sermon didn't move me but I was just too tired to do anything. Tomorrow I'll take a deeper look into the sermon and how I can personally apply the truths to my life. I'm hoping to throw a few quotes on Facebook and tumblr to get some people thinking. The sermon was entitled the state of the church and outlined two major pitfalls the church runs into in today's culture. The first being syncretism, becoming like the world. And the second being tribalism, separating yourself entirely from the world in every aspect. It was definitely convicting and I'm sure I will have much to think about during the week as I work through the issues where I stumble or can grow.
