So it's been a while since I've put up a semi-intelligent post.
And it will remain that way, as it's 6:15 and I just got back from work... and have had about 3 1/2 hours of sleep in the last (...doing the math...) 40 or so hours.
It seems I've survived another hectic NFL preview week at the paper coupled with support raising stuff. I put my last intense two-page spread to bed this morning, after I was able to speak at Bethel Lutheran in Ottawa last night.
Let me tell you -- this was a really cool church. I mean, I went in there tired and frazzled, but left somehow refreshed and optimistic about my long night ahead. The people were just uber nice and uber welcoming. They even fed me and gave me hugs! Not going to lie... I kind of didn't want to leave. ;) The people were a great blessing to me, and I pray that I'll be able to return that favor with my stories from the field.
And here's something interesting. I met a 81-year-old woman tonight. You would never have guessed it to look at her or talk to her. She was just so sweet and friendly and... I don't know, something.
Conclusion: Maybe life doesn't end at 23. Maybe.
OH, I haven't mentioned on here yet something really exciting. I heard from another one of my teammates! Even better, it was in an email she sent to the entire team. She just said a bit about herself and asked for others to introduce themselves. I'm hoping they do soon -- I'm so eager to get to know them! Her name was Cath. She's 29 and from South Africa. Pray for her, if you will!
Alright, I'm done. Some paperwork is calling my name... then it's bedtime. (Jubilee.)
