all done for now

I finished my semester on friday, and had an amazing weekend of events that I enjoyed thoroughly. Here they are in order
1) hung out on the front porch of a seedy neighborhood with a Scottish guy. We talked a long time about life and God. He was similar to the background my father comes from, giving intellectual assent and respect to God, but not pursuing any sort of relationship
2)hung out with my friends Lydia and Nathan
3)saturday morning prayer meeting in the same seedy neighborhood that I hung out in with the Scottish guy
4)spent all afternoon in Kensignton market, buying ingredients for a homemade pizza. It was a "P"-pizza, all the ingredients started with "P." Lydia helped to make it
5)Went to the "P" party, hence the "P"-Pizza.
6)church (we're on Sunday now), where we were given little shakers for the singing part. that was cool
7)lunch at my friend Kuirnan's house. Kuirnan has 6 fun and well-behaved children.
8)hung out with Steve Adam
9)watched my friend play slide guitar at a blues bar

lists never really cut it, but this was very likely the best weekend of my life. All around goodness. Good bonding, social fun, with just enough time for isolated walks.

It was a good weekend, and I thank God for it. I believe all good things come from Him, the only good being. The theological term to apply here is "common grace," we all get good gifts, the most basic being life itself. Other good things (like great weekends) flow from the hand of God for the purpose of letting us see a bit of Him - the Giver.
