home?

I have been home for a couple days now. It's weird to be back in a place where I feel like I am in a foreign world that is completely familiar. The sights that I see are the same, but I am not. It's hard to find where and how I fit into this world of Charlottesville Va. Coming back to these beautiful mountains, and rolling hills is always a time where I find myself thinking alot. so... that has been on my mind.

I went to church this morning. it was really good.

perseverance

"one especially harmful aspect of our world is the assumption that anything worthwhile can be acquired at once. There is a grea market for religious experience in our world; there is little enthusiasm for the patient acquisition of virtue, little inclination to sign up for a long apprentiship in what earlier generations called holiness." ~ Eugene H. Peterson

so this was a quote printed on the front of the bulleten to go along with the sermon. I really liked this because it is so true.


I am leaving for Costa Rica in two days...crazy!
