Apologies

Hi everyone,

My apologies for not having written earlier. It's been a busy summer, and it looks like it'll be a busy semester, too.

Also, part of why I haven't written was because my next entry would have been about OneDay, and what it meant (check out the link). It was not what I expected--it was both less and more. Two things from it: 1) a conversation with a Korean-American pastor there about the Korean-American church, some of its problems, and its future, and 2) the DVD I bought there of OneDay 2000.

There was far more, as well--a collage of memories, sights, experiences: seeing OneDay volunteers walk down the registration line (a long line of cars), praying for the people in each car; camping while Scripture was read over outdoor PA systems, lots more. Worshipping amidst thousands of fellow believers; praying, watching as many stood as a call for commitment to missionary service was issued.

Too much.

So, perhaps I'll go into more detail in a future entry sometime.

For now, let me just say that the summer was really busy--interning at the CA state public defender's office, teaching/working for Kaplan, and researching for a law professor at school.

Then at the end of July, my lease ran out, and I had to move to the other side of town. Thankfully, 2 friends from church helped out some. Still, it was a lot of work.

And throughout the summer, occassional weekend visits home to Irvine.

And now, school has started again, and I'm trying to figure out my classes, and take care of a bunch of things, and find out info about various things, and I also need to tie up loose ends from the summer.

Ok, more to come later. Hopefully soon.

And one more apology: to my friends in southern CA, whom I did not see on my last trip, I'm sorry I wasn't able to meet up with you. I drove home Wed with a cold, and Thurs and Fri I spent at home, battling it. Then Sat, I drove back up to Davis.

So, perhaps Thanksgivingish?

Be well (a parting phrase I've heard a lot recently).
