I feel like I've undergone some form of American initiation rites - I have now attended a massive, food-stuffed, hootin'-and-hollerin' Superbowl party, and I loved it.
In case you were somehow unaware, Aaron Rodgers, QB for the Packers, grew up in this very town, Chico, CA - so, obviously, the majority of us were rooting for the Packers... and we picked right!!
Such a good game. I know in reality that I'm terribly ignorant of football, but today I watched an entire game through, and actually enjoyed (and sort of understood!) it. I was even able to appreciate the beauty of our second touchdown - yyyyeeesss interception!
This morning at church, of course, the SuperBowl was incorporated: we watched interviews of both Aaron Rodgers, and that Troy guy with the long hair on the Steelers, talking about football and their faith. It was cool seeing them both playing such big parts on their respective teams in the big game after hearing them talk about God and stuff.
Church this morning was "Matthew's Cafe" - for you Vineyardites reading this, it's set up like Table Sunday every week - and it's cool because at some point in the sermon every week, we sit and discuss things about the message with each other and try to process it with one another. Good community focus.
It's been really cool going to different churches every week. Of course I'm excited for when we get to pick the church we'd like to commit to, and hopefully become a part of, but back home, I don't exactly church hop week to week, and it's interesting seeing what else is going on in the Body :) I do miss both the Vineyard and CLA, though!
K. This one must remain short [to compensate for that last one].
Happy Superbowl Sunday, everyone!!
vineyardites? haha yes. love it. sounds like a sweet church.
