R&R

"Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop." -Ovid

I'm very thankful for yesterday and today. Yesterday afternoon, about ten or fifteen of us younger people in the CVJM went to a lake to swim and rest in the shade. It was a lot of fun. My teammate Josh was rather nervous about getting in the water, so two of the big guys and I together attempted to pull him in. Unfortunately, he resisted all three of us, but we succeeded in getting him sandy enough that he had to come into the lake and rinse off. After the lake, Nicole (teammate), Josh, and I went with Danijela to her host home. (Danijela's host sister, Tabea, is a very sweet girl and is very hospitable, even though her parents are out of town.) We talked, ate, and watched The Walking Dead until ten o'clock.

Today being a much-needed free day, I got to sleep in. Since I ate breakfast, I've been researching an answer to some questions for this Thursday's coffee house social: 1) How do we know there is a God? and 2) Why can't we see God? I'm just thankful I know enough to write my answers in German. Even though I haven't finished, I feel like I've knocked a good chunk of it out.

In conclusion, yesterday and today have been much needed. Even though I still somewhat worked, I was in need of doing something other than construction.
