Such a good tired

Me, I'm exhausted from all the fun I had today.

First, I went to church with some of my friends here. I went to a church where I had been a few times before when I lived here long long ago. Man, have things ever changed there! Still the same pastors, still the same building. But where there used to be just a handful of white folks, a, well, rather lax time frame, only a few instruments and a few measly little fans turning over head... there is now A/C, a full worship band, a strict 2 hour time limit and about half of the congregation are foreigners! It's a completely different church!

I LOVED the worship, and it was so refreshing to be in a big gathering like that again. Funny how the city I'm supposed to live in is supposedly so "Christian", and I come up here where it's decidedly "unChristian" for a good refreshing worship service! I have to admit, though, the sermon left quite a lot to be desired. The visiting preacher was going on and on about how we all need to be baptized with the Holy Spirit and start speaking in tongues! I remember hearing another horrible sermon there once which was decidedly "prosperity gospel" stuff. So I'm not too impressed with the preaching. But after the sermon, the regular pastor got up and said a few words which made me think that he thought what the visiting preacher was talking about was rubbish, too :) But anyways, it was a good time to be together in a church!

After church, I went with some friends to "the club", which happened to be the very same club that I used to hang out at all the time. Of course, the price has seen a dramatic increase since I've been going (I paid 5 times what I used to pay just to get in the gate!). But here is how I spent my afternoon:
Yup, there's me sitting in the shade by the pool! The afternoon passed WAY too quickly. But as soon as I got home, our neighbors came over to play some games with us, which was also a whole lot of fun!

However, my week of getting my computer cleaned up and answering all the emails that I got behind on during my computer crisis is over :( Tomorrow we start our conference, which means meetings until I drop on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday AND Friday. Phew. I'm tired just thinking about it! I'd better go get myself into bed, as I have to leave the house at 7am tomorrow just to get there in time!
