I think that days like these reaffirm my faith in the basic tenets of Christianity. Which I probably needed more than I'd really like to admit, so ... well, anyway. It started off with the basic Sunday stuff -- Pedro was preaching today. I have to say that his academic style is really more suited to my tastes, which isn't to say he doesn't get into it, but he's very ... well, I dunno. Those of you who've heard him can weigh in on this. Or not.
Anyway, the sermon was on recognizing the body of Christ in whatever we do. Important, but unsettling. I guess those are the good lessons, hmm? After services, one of the people being studied with was baptized over at Van and Cindy's, then BJ, Keysha, and I passed a few hours with Heather, Rachel, and Steve just sort of spending time together. Left about 7:30 and headed back to SBU, where I grabbed some snacks and headed over to the sports complex to spend some QT with Bryan while he worked. Passed three hours talking about important and non-important stuff, and just provided a great follow-up to ... well, to life really. Closed down the place and headed back to the room, where I spent a couple hours with Mark, Matt, and Marcus, plus some other guy, then headed next door for a couple of games of NBA Live 2003.
All in all, a very, very good day. Even if I did lose my micron pen.
