going, going, gone

I can't believe it's almost April! Where does the time go? I'm back at Helen's, my house sitting adventures have come to an end, but it's good because I was a little lonley in that big ol' house by myself. Friday night, Sam, Amy, Eric(Amy's foreign exchange student) and myself went cosmic bowling! We had a blast, we played two games seriously, and then for the last one, we busted out the bumpers and acted a "fool" to entertain ourselves. We are quite amusing. Saturday evening we had a game night for the youth and we played Scategories again and watched the newer version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Sunday was church as usual, and Monday my week began with Care group. I spent the rest of the day trying to organize upcoming events with Josh and Monday night, a couple from church, Ron and Helen Howe, had me and Helen over for dinner. Helen Howe is by far the world's greatest cook, she's amazing, I mean, I've yet to find someone who didn't like something she made! Tuesday I spent the day with Dee Taylor from church and we went and visited Lousia Davey, who's in a Transitional Home because she broke her left femer. The three of us played "Rumikube" (sp?), it's an addicting game with numbers, I won two games! Tuesday night I had my missions class, which was as always interesting. We're moving into the History of the church and seeing how the churches have evolved over the years. And today I went to BSF in the morning and met my friend Paul for lunch in the city. Tonight I've got Girl's Group, which is a group of about 6 14-year-olds, and they are CRAZY! I'll have to rest up some before I leave.

I don't really have any words of wisdom to pass along today, but I will say that I've been very convicted about making the most of every opportunity and trying to show Jesus to anyone I pass by on a regular day. A simple smile or letting a car cut in front of you or asking how the check-person's day was, anything...trying to go that extra mile that Jesus calls us to go. So, I inspire you to go and do the same!
