Weekly updates

I guess I should commit myself to weekly updates or my loving fans (yes, all one of them) will never hear from me.  She probably hears from me enough on a daily basis but since she asked... =)

This past week has been interesting.

I found out that New York isn't all it's made out to be. It's really rather ordinary other than it being some sort of shrine to consumerism. 5th Avenue has buildings touting luxury brands all over the place, and Times Square with all the flashing lights looks like some sort of Las Vegas wannabe.  There really is a Starbucks on almost every street.

However, the place lacks feeling. Even with Central Park (which is HUGE) and The Strand (cheap books!).
It's probably just me. *shrug*

After coming back from New York, Friday was spent running more errands and Saturday was spent bringing the wife to Le Cordon Bleu Boston.
While the wife spent 3+ hours decorating, I retired to a nearby Dunkin Doughnuts to read my book. The Man in the Mirror I think it's called. No, it's not about Michael Jackson.

I've always felt it rather strange how God chooses to speak to us and I think He had a message for us this weekend.  On Saturday, He convinced me, through the book, to examine my life more closely.  On Sunday, He spoke to Lynn to convince her that we should spend more time on the word.  As I listened to her after service, I couldn't help but feel that He is preparing us for something.  I've no doubt we should listen closely lest we be caught unprepared when the time comes....

In other news, we're still tying up loose ends. Probably gonna get a Skype account to facilitate calling Singapore from the comfort of home. The coming week will be filled with orientation activities.  Pray for us.
