Yesterday evening I attended an inaugural Bible study at the home of these fine folks. It went really well, and we settled on apologetics as a topic for future discussion. I'm looking forward to our bi-weekly meetings. I'm also attending a Bible study geared towards young single men at the home of one of our elders on Tuesday nights. God couldn't have started these two studies at a more appropriate time in my life. I need to spend all the time in the Bible that I can, and I'm barely in it at all right now.



Sundog Books - Seaside, Florida

On a completely different note, I drove to Seaside on Sunday and visited Sundog Books. It's a pretty cool little bookstore, with a small coffeeshop and CD store upstairs. I Picked up Elliott Smith's "From a Basement on the Hill," Juliana Theory's "Love," and Postal Service's "Give Up."

Seaside is a very attractive town. It's where Jim Carey's "Truman Show" was filmed, and I can see why they chose it. It has an almost manufactured eerie perfect-ness to it, but it's definitely pretty to look at. Feels like a very very expensive Disney World without the rides. I think it's that non-authentic Southern/Californian feel that draws people from other states. Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong have a home there, Paris Hilton owns a house down the road a ways, Amy Grant and Vince Gill vacation there, Hillary Clinton vacationed there several years ago, Steve Tyler came down seven times within the last year to look at the same house, only to finally decide it was out of his price range. If I had a ton of money, I'd buy in Destin. It feels way more comfortable to me. Seaside's fun to visit, though.
