WOW!!! Today I went to Hillsong for the first time. It was unbelievable...like nothing I have ever experienced. There was so much going on and so many people. The music and musicians were equally fantastic. I videotaped some of it but for some reason I can't load it to my blog. I'll have to show you when I get home. Strangely they had two surprise visitors today: MaryMary. They were in town with Kirk Franklin (a Christian rapper) and decided to stop by b...

I went to see Les Miserables on Wednesday night. This is the first theater show that I've had to pay for since I've been here and it was expensive! But it was also well worth it. My girlfriends Sable and Mary came by that night and asked if I wanted to go out to dinner and then the theater. I of course said "yes!" We went to Chinatown and ate at a nice Japanese restaurant.

I told him it was uneventful and asked him how his was. He told me he went home Saturday and went to church on Sunday. I said, "I went to church too". This started a conversation which lasted 2 hours about church and church activities. He wants to be a minister and...

Today I went to church...I haven't been in two weeks because I've been traveling. I was really excited to go today. I love it. The choir is beautiful I could listen to them all day long. The weather was so miserable today. Cold and windy and pitifully raining every once in a while. After church I stayed in and read for a while. When I got hungry I asked my friend Katrina to come out with me to The Other Side which is right down the street from us. I had...
