I'm back from 2 week break from life and still adjusting again to a normal, busy, solitary, screen-filled life. I knew it was a true departure when I got back and tried to plug my cell phone recharger into the the earpiece hole. The weeks recapped:
The cast of characters was nothing like I had expected. Not a stiff intellectual to be found. There was a rowdy 17-year old guy from Texas. He was a bodybuiler, a roofer, and loved to share his worldview by roughly dividing things into 2 categories- right and retarded. He was always good for entertainment value with his yee-haws and the fake, lisping gay-man voice that I came to almost regard as his natural voice. On the opposite end of the spectrum was an actress from NY who grew up in CA. She was a vegetarian and opposite of Cowboy Man in almost every way. The other girls were all moderates trying to figure out what to do with their lives, how to understand God, and searching for the man of their dreams- feeding desire with Jane Austen movies and novels. It was good company.
I don't think you can really know someone until you live with them, see them first thing in the morning, and work side by side. So I quickly learned my friends. We ate together, did dishes together, pulled weeds together and shared our questions.
I had set out to learn about the goodness of God, but through a few twists can to understand my theme was being reconciled to God. More on this next entry...
