a bike without a bell is like a car without a decent way to play your own music (you know who you are, jonathan dow)
but thats actually not what i wanted to write about.
i was a good girl and i went to worship generation tonite which is calvary's sunday night service. i'm gonna try going to a bible study.
it started out super awkward as i sat there by myself waiting for the service to start. i used to sit by myself at shoreline all the time and it never bothered me...but i was so paranoid tonite i started texting one of my friends just to do something with my hands. 5 text messages later the service finally started.
it got better as the night went on because a bunch of people got up and shared about their bible studies that they are starting. thats always how it is: discomfort dissolved away by hearing peoples hearts and visions. i realized a few years ago that i was more apt to like someone (as opposed to misjudging them) if i sat down and made eye contact and had a meaningful conversation with them...funny how that is.
so tomorrow i will put my bell on my bike and on tuesday i will go to a bible study :)

You were there? I was there too... I got there early and stayed late. How did I miss you. I read your email on my iPhone while I was there (after service) and I took the picture on my bike ride to church. Next time you're there, it'd be fun to chat and I could introduce you to some of my new friends.
that's awesome....glad it went well!
oooooooh! A bell! I just put a bell on my bike too, chiefly because I ride along the bike trails in the Cloisters, and practically give old people heart attacks as I come riding stealthily up behind them! Hopefully this will help :)
