Missing

Less than six days till I go hope. I can barely contain my excitement. Can't you tell? I miss America. Never thought I'd say that.

This past week has been a little more hectic than usual. Yes--work, work, and more work. But Tuesday and Wednesday were great. Tuesday night I went to the Beckham game. Quite the spectacle. But more about that later. Wednesday I headed up to Manly and helped Mrs. Curl teach scripture at the public school in the area. It was interesting to think that in public schools in a secular country like Australia, they allow the Bible taught in school. Quite a peculiar situation. But the ramifications of that would be something to study.

The beach was fun. It was so nice. The water was turquoise blue, although a bit cold once you got in. But to be in the water in November? Totally neat.

The rest of the week was just work. I found out last week that the more money I make, the more taxes I lose. It's kind of thrown my budget for a loop, but I'll rally.

Today I went to a concert that paid tribute to John Williams. Such a quality time. The Sydney Symphony orchestra played songs from such movies as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Superman, Jurassic Park, Harry Potter,Indiana Jones, and of course all six Star Wars movies. It was epic. Can't wait to get home and get a John Williams greatest hits cd.

I'm out for the rest of the weekend. Back once more before I hit the States.
