Unbelievable

Today was such a good day; the sun was shining and he wind was not too strong or too weak.  We were out in the double handlers today (with two people "handling" it) and they're not only bigger than the little picos but more comfortable and much nicer.  You are further off the water and so to be gliding across the unbelievably calm sea with the sun shining down on you, sailing alongside a friend to chat with.  Beautiful.
The only thing that could have made it better would be if I'd had sunglasses, and - I've kept this next statement quiet for a while - I've lost mine, about two and a half weeks ago, not even a week into the course.  I have no idea where they have gone but I don't expect to see them again and I miss them LOTS. :( I got them only in the summer and they were £15 down from the original £40 and now they're somebody else's bargain I'm presuming.  Unbelievable: February and I've already lost my sunglasses.  Well I now have a new pair, and I'm £15 down.  I guess I'll get used to them, but they won't be as good as my others.  Ah well.  As I read somewhere: if you own an object that you can't give away then it actually owns you.  I thought that was quite good and rather thought-provoking.
For you Christians reading this I'm going to add a few prayer points, not for myself but for a few others on my course.  First off a couple of guys who nobody likes, one of whom keeps getting picked on.  Second for the guy who got boomed and has had a couple of feints since then and is still not too well.  Third, for my friend from Kickstart who still is unwell and seems to be getting worse.  She has another Doctor's appointment next week and though they have narrowed down the causes there is still a lot of uncertainty.
I'm off to "Catalyst Vibe", which is the half-monthly youth meeting which is aimed more at the chilling out rather than the worship of "Catalyst".  To those of you who know praise night, it's more the Afta Hourz than the main service.
So I need to be off.  For the sake of getting the word in again, I hope tonight is "unbelievable" and that you are all "unbelievably" well.
