The most engaging life I've ever had

exciting, fun, a little intimidating, definitely worth it.

Monday

Prayer meeting, breakfast, sermon by Pastor Donnelly. He spoke on called to be saints. He gave exhortation to live up to the continuing challenge to live holy lives, to understand the fact that we are all called- a saint is not a spiritual giant as the RC church believes, but is one who follows Christ as even the Corinthians (who were not without problems) were called by Paul. What struck me most was when he emphasized the plurality of saints. We are not an army of one. We CANNOT fight alone. This point hit me because I am usually a loner, and would rather sit in a corner and read instead of going out with other saints to encourage, strengthen, and fight our battles together. For the college class, we had Jan Buchanan give us her testimony of how God called her to Senegal. Lunch with Eric, then ultimate frisbee. My team won our first game, but I had to leave in the middle of the second to go roller blading with Eric. Dinner and then the entertainment night. We had tremendous performances by the Carr brothers, the Gamble sisters and the Calamari brothers. After the entertainment, Geneva college hosted an ice cream social where Heather taught some of us the T-Rex, Old Lady, and Grocery Cart. Then a bunch of us hopped over to the dorms to see Signs. Got to bed really late.
