Hey Circe -
Week's passing at a really strange speed. Got a lot of sleep last night, yet I don't feel at all rested. I did eventually go surfing with Josh, even though we didn't use the Missile - he insisted on sticking to his personal board so he could get used to it. He'll be a lot better than myself before long. Never seen so much trash couped up in Honoli'i waters. I'll never be spoiled to clean ocean and clear water again. Tool a mouthful of the stuff about 2/3's of the way through and thought I was going to die. I did catch a fairly decent ride, though, which is more than I thought I'd have to brag about on day 1 back in the water. So that's a plus. We spent a lot of time laughing and having a good time whining about how gross and cold it was. Male bonding is definitely a goal for me this year.
I guess this goes without saying, but if you need any more help grading, I'm keeping from falling too far behind so I have some time to help you out. Only catch is that Tes will definitely not be too thrilled about having me as far away from you (and possibly herself) as possible. But all arrangements and social implications aside (of which I have qualms about neither) I'm available to get you to bed early.
So how are the living situations going so far. They treating you okay? Getting along with Natasha and Robin? Have they launched out any of your stuff yet? Should be a maturing process for all of you as your territorial half gets disintigrated down the drain. As far as I'm concerned, it's a victory if it succeeds, and a miraculous one at that (just giving you girls a hard time, of course). I know that when I'm living around people, other than yourself, I tend to disappear into the background, unnoticed. Been told that by several people. I can see why, I am such a pacifist. Almost a shame, really, that I don't get more involved in people's lives than I do.
I enjoyed the bible study with the guys, but I decided I didn't like being the focus of the gathering. Maybe it's my pride (don't like being a "project") or maybe I just enjoy absorbing what other people are doing, since people watching is so much fun and very enlightening. Still have trouble just opening my bible before bedding down. Everyone seems to be telling me to get up early to do my devos. Can't even begin to express how annoying it is. There's not much of me there to begin connecting with God when I first wake up, and after I gain some momentum, it really doesn't have the same affect. I prefer to just do it at night. Just wish so much of me didn't feel like such a failure when I approach God. I know he sees right through me.
See you tonight if you're not too busy and we both make it. Wonder if Todd's speaking of if they'll rotate it. You mentioned not having a "preacher" in their church, so I assume somebody else will take the plate. Either way, unless something comes up, I'm looking foreward to the sermon.
Take care.
Sincerely,
Beck
