Psalm 137

That was the best rap concert last night. We didn't stay the whole time, but I hope to see them again soon. They had so much energy and ability. The rapper reminded me of a cross between 2pac and Flava Flav. Imagine that. Tomorrow I should be having lunch with the drummer!
The Spirit is really working with FC and me! I've been thinking lately that if he'd only join the same mission as I, then we could be together. But first of all, I didn't know if the programs would allow non US-citizens and secondly, I didn't want to even ask him. That's a decision one needs to make on his own after much prayer. There was no way I was going to pressure him into becoming a missionary.
Then today he emailed me and said he'd thought up a good idea: he'd apply for the same program I do. I was stunned. I haven't mentioned this sort of thing in months. I'm giddy beyond belief right now! I'll keep everyone updated on what we're looking into and where....
Talked to BYM's sister today. She was holding together much better than I'd have imagined. She's having to be "the strong one" in the family I think. She's also probably still stunned. She said the media has been crawling in their yard wanting to make a feature presentation out of it but her mother still is too broken up to talk. The funeral should be next Monday or Sunday.
Apparently that story made it all over the nation. My grandparents in PA heard it, my mom in NY heard it and my dad in Ohio heard it.
Shalom!
"Woe is me, that I am an alien in Meshech, that I must live among the tents of Kedar. Too long have I had my dwelling among those who hate peace. I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war."-Psalm 120
I'm off to try and go to Mass.....
