Sabbatical Day 8

June 27, 2004--Day 08
Went to the 8:30 a.m. service at Scott's church, Meadow Park Church of God. I've been there before, though I can't remember the occasion. I'm not crazy about the worship service--they put the lyrics to all the hymns and choruses on PowerPoint, but they don't include the music. Plus, there was a men's quartet that sang a song that was a little bit too country for me. I went to the young adult Sunday School class--I've never been to a young adult Sunday School class before. It was pretty good. We discussed the first three verses of Psalm 23 and 'rest,' an appropriate topic for my sabbatical's second Sunday.

Scott was kind enough to drive me to Port Columbus (CMH) before he returned to church for a coed softball game. We ate lunch at the airport and then said our good-byes. My flight to Cincy (CVG) was short and uneventful. My flight to New York (JFK) was a little longer, but the plane was much bigger and less full. The seats in front of me, behind me, and to the right of me were empty. Once I arrived at JFK, it took an hour and a half to get my luggage, take the AirTrain to 'Station C' and to get on the shuttle to the hotel. The hotel isn't much, and there's not much around it food-wise...should have eaten at the airport. Need to be downstairs in the lobby by 5:50 a.m.

While I'm on my trip, I'll be keeping track of the number of steps I take. In the Footsteps of St. Paul, so far: 1739 steps
