EJ 05

Experience Jesus 2005. Thats the name of this year's San Diego Christmas Conference. Which is where I am at the moment. Im having a blast hanging out with college students and talking to them about opportunities to come work at Headquarters in Orlando.

The job is a lot harder than I thought but its still a lot of fun. Pray that God calls students from all the different Christmas conferences around the country to work with us in Orlando.

Tucson

So I made the journey to Tucson today. God is quite awesome I must say.

Today I arrived at the airport and got my tickets and went to my plane and right before they start boarding the plane I realize "wait a second this seat is in FIRST CLASS". I definately did NOT buy first class tickets but somehow I got bumped up. Yep that was my first time riding in first class. REAL food on a domestic flight is a first. Haha it was like a little Christmas present from God. I finally had time to work on my Christmas cards on the flight too. bonus!

Then I got to Tucson and saw my parents new house. one word: AWESOME!!!! The pictures that ive been seeing totally do not do it justice. Its actually quite big and bright and airy on the inside. I think it has a very asian feel but everyone else here seems to disagree. oh well.

Tomorrow I start my Christmas shopping. aaaaaaaaahhh.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! (I might post again before Christmas but I make no promises)

*ill*

Being sick is No fun! (you can pray I get better.)

On a more happy note: I only have 2 more work days (Friday and Monday) before I fly to Arizona for Christmas! Yay!

Narnia

Christmas Parties Galore. That sums up my weekend. But I also saw the Narnia movie.

I really like the Narnia movie. What I have always found interesting about that story is that C S Lewis was writing it as an allegory of the gospel. So its appropriate to look for parallels in it to the bible and christianity. And CSLewis was such a deep thinker that all kinds of neat things come out when you think about how the story plays out.

For instance when Lucy first enters Narnia it is this huge mysterious exciting place. She is filled with wonder. It strikes me that it is the same as someone discovering for the first time that there really is a supernatural - God exists in this universe of ours. The world theyve been living in becomes - different. Some how more Grand just by that knowledge.

Others like Edmund discover this same wider universe but they happen upon its sinister side instead of the good.

Either way you must soon discover that a war is going on.

Almost every scene in the movie portray's some piece of the gospel. If you've seen the movie what was your favorite scene was and what do you think its deeper meaning was???

The grass may be greener here...

But I've been looking at the pictures of snow on my friends blog and I have to say I'm pretty jealous. It certainly looks pretty and fun!! Some day I'd like to live somewhere that it snows.
