fun tuesday

After spending several hours indulging in my own selfishness, I got out of the office and met up with a friend before his final exam. After he took me home, Brandon came over and chilled out with me. I was super hungry, but trying to wait until I met up with John a bit later.

He arrived and I was punctual in our leaving, not delaying anything. He was surprised. I was amused at his surprise. We went to Waffle House (WaHo) and got some food and talked a little. He wanted us to be together, the guys and his lady, as believers together. To share frustrations yes, but to encourage, too. I was ok with that.

The waiters were friendly and one of them has a lot of clothes. His name is Justin. He's friendly. We tipped him and went to John's house. Sophie greeted me at the door with all the enthusiasm she knew how to muster. So adorable. She pees when I pet her for the first 15 minutes of being at the house.

We talked about all sorts of things while we were there. Drama, life, work, God. We laughed and we were silent. I liked the steak and eggs I ordered (which I will probably order again soon. Maybe today) and all this. So much good going around the room. A lot of encouragement to do the things we should as people that love God and about different church issues and all of these things. All the hot topics and some of the not-so-important ones came up. We even took pictures of the dog playing with me -- she hopped up on me, put her arms on my shoulders, and tried to give me a hug.

That meant lots of pictures. I'm posting a few. Enjoy.

You can thank this lovely young lady for the photos:

We thought of the things we want to do in the future and different passions we have. It was a good night. When I got home, Brandon went home. John and I prayed for each other and for the church. I'm glad I went. I even used that moment of selfishness to pass along something good to others. It's amazing how much you can learn from even a frustrating experience if you are open to it.

Again, a good night with them.

After that, I got back home and talked to Reza for a while before he fell asleep after walking for a while with Andrew to a gas station. We talked about working out and diet and all these things. He's doing well and getting better. I am happy about that...

What an eventful night....

It was a good night, though. A good night.
