Ah.....warm weather. The blazing sunshine and warm breezes....AND one beautiful day is all it takes for Miami girls to take it all off and show any inch of their skin they can get away with. Arg. Can you tell I'm bitter about objectification? Women do it to themselves. Grrrrr. Maybe it's just my own issues with my own insecurities about my body. But really.....do girls need to wear stuff that covers next-to-nothing?

On a different note, I'm reminded this afternoon how refreshing and spiritually fulfilling it is to fellowship with other believers. I was able to meet Susie today at the Cappuccino Depo in Millville, and it was a real blessing. We got to share our lives with one another, discuss the future, and encourage one another (although I felt she did much more encouraging than I did!) As far as Christian communion with one another, I think God designed us that way. We desire human companionship, and when that companionship shares a common faith, something really powerful presents itself....something fulfilling and meaningful. Praise God for fellow believers: ones in Oxford, ones in Marion, ones in Minster, ones in Waldo, and ones in places I haven't even been yet that only God knows I will be connected to in the future. There is great strength in the encouragement and wisdom of fellowshipping in the name of Christ.

And, switching gears once more, I've been coffeeless and popless for, well, I think over 3 weeks now, and it's really starting to get to me. Tea is fine and all, but there's just nothing quite like all those carbonated chemicals bubbling down your throat and into your tummy, along with that caffeine blast. Man, I could use a Dew right about now.
