Sunday Church

I went to the main service of Jubilee today. Wow it's huge. And there were floods of people. I walked in as an usher looked at me wondering how many I was with and I held up my fingers for...one. They passed me one usher to another until someone said here's a seat for you. I looked at it for a second..."Reserved." He smiled at me and walked away.

The service was a lot of announcements for a lot of events, and a gospel-like worship. I wasn't really feeling it since it was so big...too big to really feel intimate with God really. But the message was still good. The pastor instilled the message right into your heart.

Something I learned about love. Three things:

1. Sacrifice. You sacrifice for the ones you truly love.
2. Service. You tell them you love them, and show them. Don't assume they "just know."
3. Courage. You can't love someone out of fear, or it'll turn into something bad.

A lady sitting next to me talked to me and asked me about myself today. It was a nice welcome really, feeling like you exist in such a big mush pot. After church I just randomly drove around town, talking on the phone and getting myself lost on purpose. I had no idea where I was or where I was going, and it was nice. I talked to Mom, Matt, and Tyler...Tyler who keeps my faith and sanity in check lol. Eventually I came across a large parking lot and drove in. Long behold, I was at Santana Row. It was beautiful...european-ish. I walked around the Farmer's Market (only on Sundays what a good coincidence), and bought fresh strawberries and a baked potato for lunch. I found a lawn and sat down on the grass to eat and listen to some live music. Then I left and found a freeway and headed over to Kim's house. I was hoping to go to Santa Cruz for some surfing, but it's been put off for yet another day. It's her dad's birthday today (my lil brother's too!), and she wanted to be back for dinner.

Haha I talked to Sabrina this afternoon cause she's in town. And again I got a "what is there to do around here?" I had to laugh because I don't know why people keep asking me that when they're the ones from around here. Anyways, now I'm just kickin back. I'm thinking of pulling up Invisible Children on my computer, thanks to Megan who sent me a letter saying she's gonna head to Uganda for a few weeks because the movie changed her life. What a great cause...I assume...I still have to see the movie lol.
