kentucky journey...

[o1.2o.o1]



aloha! i hope this entry finds you well and cared for by the graciousness of God. just for the record, this is andrew...not john. i just wanted to record a few of my thoughts during my time spent with john in kentucky and indiana. i've been here for 20 days and it has been a good time. a lot of thinking. ...a lot of stillness...and quietness. ...a fair bit of reading. ...a lot of good people. ...and a lot of cold (both temperature and illness=). here are some of the things that i'll remember the most...



being able to see my breath while riding in the car... the quiet... chicken katsu curry... good talks.. sweet tea... taking in the haunting, soul-stilling kentucky landscape... a one-on-one snow ball fight with brandon... talking with God... jim winn... chuck e. cheese with the youth of Rolling Field's Baptist Church (never again!=)... the stillness... basketball... jenn the kind and sweet (intimidator of men=)... late night / early morning steak and shake runs... chris davis... talking to john at the kitchen table until 5:00 in the morning... hanging in brandon's room... surfer john... the silence... cranium=)... Kanikapila with some of the boys in carver in an early a.m. session... monica's shoyu chicken!=)... rob... talking about surf details over monica's shoyu chicken, oyako, and tons of rice... watching "band of brothers," with sound that you could feel, while eating choke chinese food!... listening to hawaiian music and looking at monica's pictures of Hawaii sunsets while i was completely surounded by the bitter cold... john's thong... driving by a Bob Evans... ministering with dave and monica at the U of L BSU (you guys are great...the LORD bless you!)... biggs... the 11 left turns and 1 right turn on our way to celebrate chinese new years with gen...



that's about all i can recall for now. though it feels like i have been here for a good portion of forever, it also feels like i could spend a life-time here and still be lacking. both are probably true... well, i jump on a plane to head back west in about 8 hours, and this will be a memory. ...but it will be a good one. The LORD has been more than gracious and compassionate to me on this journey. i look forward to what he has in store ahead. soli deo gloria... Seattle...here i come. journey stong...andrew=)
