it's finals time, and i have a bunch of stuff to do, but i feel like blogging, so i'm gonna blog.
this past saturday i went to pastor joel's wedding...pastor joel was my pastor in michigan (he was working on his phd at calvin at the time), and we left michigan and came back to la at around the same time. since then, he's been pastoring a church here that some of my college friends go to (now known as lfc - living faith chapel). we've had a few michigan reunions so i see him every now and again.
so anyways, i go to the wedding and run into some really random people. besides the michigan folk and the berkeley folk, i see some people from lacpc, the church i grew up going to. (lfc is actually an offshoot of lacpc - don't know the exact details, but i think it's one of those korean church things) so i recognize a bunch of people from lacpc, a church i stopped going to in high school, and some of them actually remembered me. then, i run into a guy i went to high school with that goes to the home church of sharon, the bride. at the reception, i saw angela, annie's boston roommate, and melissa from mosaic, both of whom are friends of the bride. talk about random...
anyways, pastor joel and sharon seemed really happy, and it was great seeing everyone, though running into all those random people unexpectedly made it a bit surreal. i had a few good catch-up conversations with some michigan people...some didn't know that i was back in grad school, and when young found out, he said that he knew i'd be back. that was a bit surprising to me since i totally thought that i was done when i was finishing up in michigan. wonder how he knew... maybe i just have that intellectual aura...hehe, yeah right.
