Learning

The days are actually getting easier as they are going by, I guess that's because i'm finally over jet lag now. Today was a lot of painting.
We went out to McDonalds last night. I've put McDonalds under the "last resort" list as far as fast food choices, but that's in the states. European McDonalds rock my socks!!!!! McCafe hot chocolate is most excellent!! Yes, there is a coffee place in Mckee D's here. (at least in Kiel)
I'm going to put up a list of things i've learned here on the Logos Hope. This is mostly so i can remember them, but i'll let ya'll enjoy as well. Like any one else reads this. I'll bet this blog would bore stalkers away. Anywho, the first item to go on the list is "i care to much about appearances". This, coming from the guy who spent a good two hours painting a section on a pipe that no one will probably ever see again. But to get all serious on ya, i have written too many people off at first, based solely on how i think they look, or present themselves. I think there is a certain amount of truth in this, at least, as far as in how people present themselves, but i definitely do not need to judge people before i know them. Wow, i sounded like shrek right there. I guess that's in the Bible too. The thought hit me when we were walking around town here. No one on the ship here, excluding myself maybe, puts that much value on what they look like. Just going around town; in the 'real' world, people spend how long making sure they look like how they want? Here, surrounded by people who want to do nothing but serve God, it's not that important. It just put things in the proper perspective.

So, in case i don't make it......."after three days of labor: "moral is good, opportunities abound"
