Lots of Things

I know I said I didn't blog and now this is a second one in three days, but I guess thats just the way it goes. Today had a lot of "making me think" types of moments. Quick summary: woke up, ate breakfast, cleaned the team house, had lunch, visited the three children's homes we will be working with this summer, made dinner, brought said dinner to the beach, swam in 5-7 foot waves, worshiped and devotionalized on the beach while the sun set, came back to a staff house for a movie, and back to home sweet bottom bunk where I am now. Yes I made up the word devotionalized. What follows are thoughts I had throughout the day, loosely in a corresponding order to the above events.

• Still not used to the time change
• Is it really raining while we eat breakfast?
• After only two days, our team is working together like we've been here a month
• God has put awesome people in my life
• Mmmmm tuna
• Rancho...wow. Last I was here there were eight holes in the ground and now there is a huge wall
• These kids are awesome and I can't wait to be here for the next two months
• The vision of the Back2Back staff is so cool.
• Driving around Mazatlan takes a long time
• FloreSer...cool to finally be here! But I truly stink at speaking Spanish, I REALLY should have worked on that
• Salvation Army...freakin' sweet jungle gym! Crazy thinking back to building it. So many excited kids, so much to do, so pumped for what God has in store for the kids and the groups who are coming
• Quiet van ride back to the team house, lots of thinking going on I think
• Appetizer of our lunch for the next two months for dinner tonight, booyah
• Salt water tastes bad and waves are stronger than me
• This community was put together by God for an incredible purpose
• The Creator made some pretty wicked awesome stuff
• My tendency to dump M&M's into my popcorn came from my mother
• Billy Crystal is a funny dude
• Tired

Those are exactly the only thoughts I had all day. No more, no less. Not really, but close enough. And like I said...tired. First group comes tomorrow and so begins the awesome craziness. Bring it.
