1. 10/10/10 party at 10:10 with 10 people in the bomb shelter. The bomb shelter was built for dance parties. There’s neon tape lining the walls, black lights, and it’s always cold. At 10:09, we started a countdown to the fateful moment, and then for one full minute, we danced. It was a pretty great minute and now I’m just trying to remind myself to live every moment as if it’s 10/10/10 10:10.
2. Trying to read the Old Testament. This is my first struggle with the ancient text, but fortunately, I’m surrounded by 80 other people going through the same struggle.
Me: “I took an accidental two hour nap today. I was reading in 2 Kings…”
James: “Yep, that’s like Tylenol PM.”
3. Hezekiah’s tunnel and the pool of Siloam. We walked through Hezekiah’s tunnel this week which not only made me feel like Indiana Jones, but also became an epically immortalized experience as we did the Waka Waka in linear formation. Something I learned from the experience was about the man who was born blind who Christ healed. He used dirt and spittle to cover his face and then told him to wash his face at the pool of Siloam. If he had uses fine ointments and herbs, people would have said that he regained sight because of the pure elements on his face. Also, Siloam means “follow” or “disciple”, so he uses this radical illustration to give light and knowledge to the man who was blind so that he could become a disciple for Christ. I love it here!!!!!
