Saturday

Today we're going to Santa Monica - to the beach and the pier. Tonight is everything that we absolutely have to do before we leave, including a BBQ, the talent/no talent show (TNT), secret buddy final gift exchange, affirmations, and closing. Lots of preparations to be made. Everyone is sneaking off to have secret conversations with other people, and it's getting very confusing.
This morning, the Bulldogs (my group) are on cooking duty, making pancakes. I slipped into the sanctuary for a few minutes, for a tiny bit of centering time. Once inside, it was completely silent, even though the kitchen is right nearby. I walked down the center aisle to stand in a patch of light streaming in from the stained glass windows on either side. I closed my eyes and just stood there in the silence and light. When I opened my eyes, I looked around. Each of the stained glass windows represents one of the apostles. The pool of light that I happened to be standing in was a combination of light coming through the Peter window on one side, and the Judas window directly opposite.
Love, Rebecca
