Woke up to a new sermon series at my church. I sat in a higher section of the balcony, which was dimly lit and unkempt, but I was still able to perceive the message. After the sermon me and Chad met up with Melissa and Samantha and has a Costco lunch.
After that I went back to Melissa's house where I hung out briefly, before leaving to see the film The Green Lantern with my friend Mike. The film was ok, a definitive for a little boy's imagination. As stated on the previous blog, I avoided all sugars and sodas today, at the theater and at Costco. My body thanks me.
After the film, I met up with Melissa at Cornerstone University to check out Evensong. Evensong is a Sunday night event that brings a college university band (a la worship team) together and unites a campus with Christ's love. It's been four years since I've been to this, to it was a time warp for my brain. After the show I went back to my old stomping grounds in Van Osdel, the dormitory I lived in. I walked through every floor, lobby, and lounge, taking in sights, smells, and memories. I became overwhelmed, and sat in a lounge and had a one-on-one with God. My basket of amnesics began to overflow a surging tangent of fervor in my mind. The emoticon capacity is brimming. I was so selfish those years growing up, yet I was so innocent. A child of the culture. I japed myself the entire time. I was blessed, and I never knew it. Until now. I miss that school.
Rob and Alex, two great guys from Cornerstone met me and Melissa at Applebee's tonight, where we were able to catch up, and I was again connoted again that I was blessed. I never had to wander that far off.
