Urbana Update #2

Today the following occurred:

I woke up. Missed the morning Bible study due to really long registration lines. Went to morning session, it was good. Worship is something that I've been missing recently, and it's really refreshing especially in this context.

I didn't go to a 2 o'clock seminar. Instead, I went to the OMF booth. Holy cow... that was nuts. So. when I first got there, I met with a guy who will, in all likelihood, end up finishing a project that I started 1.5 years ago. I talked with him, and with my old team leader, and then I started talking with this random OMF guy who-- wait, backstory.

For the past three years I've been in heavy contact with OMF, going on two summer trips two years in a row. One of my main points of contact has been the regional short-term trip coordinator field-side, an Aussie. I found out recently that this Aussie was going back home for an indefinite period of time, this made me sad -- back to the story.

So, anyways, I'm talking to this random OMF guy who I really like, and we're hitting it off, and we know some of the same people, and then I find out, this guy is gonna be the Aussie's replacement. So we talked about what I could do to help out now, and also potentially in the future. He gave me a whole lot to think about.

Later in the day I went to a seminar called "Postmodern Apologetics." Which I mostly went to because it sounded like an oxymoron. It was pretty neat. I just can't stay away from those crazy philosophers...

I'm sorta feeling like I'm stumbling around in the dark right now. I know why I'm here in general, but I have no clue what that looks like specifically. I feel a little bit adrift right now. For those of you who pray, I'd appreciate a little something for my over-stuffed brain. There's a lot of noise in my life, and I would really like some quiet.
