atmosphere

The weather has been grand. We've a fog that moves in as the evening presses into darkness and there's a glow around every light. There is a Car Max (BIG car sales lot) right next to my house and they've lots of lights on all night long. When I get home late at night, it is SO bright outside because of the city lights, car-headlights, and Car-Max lot lights just blazing in the fog.

Saturday morning I had a chance to go surfing with the Floyd boys, Will Kryz and his wife Sarah, which was a LOT of fun. (c: Sarah bought Will a new surfboard and surprised him a the beach with it. It's a beautiful board: 9' 6"! Once he gets comfortable with it, he'll be able to walk to the end and ride the nose, "hanging ten" which is a very enjoyable classic surfer experience. The waves were great and the water isn't unbearably cold yet. Wave height was about.. 4" and not too messy... good power. (c:

Sunday afternoon cousins Philagail and brother Peter and myself went wall-climbing, which is always fun. We're all definitely improving and taking on new challenges. Much teasing and distracting was had while one person or another was attempting a particularly difficult move. It's hard to climb while laughing. I could climb for hours and hours.

Class is going well. The material is heady, and I haven't had any significant problems with any doctrines that we've talked about. Most (all?) fit into what I was taught growing up and through different exposures. There's been some great highlights though, such as Christology. At one point in class I think if the teacher had kept talking for a few more seconds we would have been in tears (at least I would have been). Not that he was expressing things with much emotion, but understanding who the Son is and the humility of incarnation and death... is a humbling thing. Selah. Praise God.

I'm set up for a very nice week. I hope you all have the same outlook onto this week. Thanksgiving day, and a weekend up north with Philisha. (c: So excited!

Sorry I haven't gotten any photo's up lately. Here's one of my Gpa while he was sitting in the chair next to me, doing a crossword (he really enjoys the daily crosswords). Did you know they get progressively difficult as the week progresses, Friday or Saturday's being the hardest?
