i learned alot today.

first off, i was really tired... i got plenty of sleep last night, but the 4 hours i got the night before tracked me down today. i almost fell asleep on the 7-train, coming back from church.

pastor bruce talked about wrestling with god today... he talked about what it feels like when we talk to
God, only to receive silence in return (reminds me of a scene from cool hand luke). pb said God wants us to struggle/wrestle with him... that it ultimately draws us closer to Him. the passage he used was psalm 39

afterwards, i went to dinner with a crowd i don't normally hang out with and the conversation was soo good. everyone always talks about relationships and dating, but it seemed different today. people seemed more honest and personal... and the points made were insightful. topics included why (some) girls fall for "bad boys"... why (some) guys seem to get nervous when the relationship gets serious (not always fear of just commitment)... one of the married sisters shared her insights as a newly-wed... the single folks talked about why they think they're single... (ahhaha).

in other news, my roommate just told me he was heading down to MD to visit his friend (again). i get the apt. all to myself. nice!
