Despite the heat (I think God is preparing us for Creation Y2K2), Tarn, Danny, Jonathan, Caleb, Tor, & I got together at ALF to "jam". I got to hear Tarn's song... I can't wait to get my hands on her cd (hopefully by the end of the month, like Dawn's!) We went with some old school stuff! And I simply got the chance to see more of Caleb's gifts and talents!
I can't get over how utterly present God is right now. I can feel Him, I can hear Him, and best yet, I can see Him in the lives of those around me. I feels like it has been forever since I was sure I was at this stage...
Lord, keep me in this place, and bring others to it in Your timing!

You are completely bananas...probably about socks and Jesus!
It's strange, amazing, and true! But now Tarnna won't like me (she has issues with monkey food!)
there's more where that came from...
| You are Hobbes!
You're a bit too mellow to be an incarnation of Calvin, but you're still his best pal. You don't mind having fun, though, and enjoy playing tricks on your friends when they least expect it |

My arrival time is obviously getting progressively worse. This time my excuse is I was frantically working. Yeah that's right, you heard it here, Amancay does in fact work! We all know work is boring, so let's move on to bigger and better things!
there's more where that came from...
I actually got to spend the afternoon with Tor (I'm going with Tor for ease of typing... I love the full name Torsten, it just makes my job a lot easier on the posting end!) Imagine that! What kind of odds were there I wonder...
We jumped in the car, and hit the road for water. After a few minor confusions (read: pile of rocks indicating road goes no further, followed by complete baffledness on my part) we finally found our destination: my favorite swimming hole. Rowena has this fun little overflow pond/lake like place, where the water's not too shabby. It's tepid (great to the touch on any day) at the surface, and quite chilled as you go out and down further! You can swim all the way across without batting an eye (ok, maybe not everyone) and you can safely hang out and simply tread water... or float with ease, depending on your skills and/or buoyancy.
What was really worth the time was the long needed convo that we got to have. From the aforementioned bouyancy issue, to what God's doing on a daily basis... it was just what The Doctor ordered. Oddly enough, Tor represents a spectrum of God's love I don't often get to experience. He is wonderfully sincere, and definitely has that exhortation gift in high gear! I can't help but feel like I'm looking straight into Jesus' eyes/heart as we talk. Such a blessing to his family and friends, I can only pray that I can reflect God that brightly.
Don't get me wrong... I know God is BIG, and He's much BIGger than Tor could ever be (love ya man!), but I can't help but notice how God works through him! I feel totally refreshed after today... Even with all this work stuff that wouldn't go away tonight, I feel extra-special thanks to the tender-heart of a young man willing to walk the walk!
