Lazy Sunday

"Yo Burgess, what's crackin'?"

Not a whole lot. Robin and I went up to Mussenden, a home of the late Bishop and Earl. It was cool to see some ruins that are still kind of intact and imagine what it must have been like to see it originally. It's right next to the sea so it has a very striking appeal. In fact, I'll upload some pictures in case anyone would like to go there via the internet. Check my last post for the link to the picture dump.

There is a huge emphasis on Protestant vs. Catholic here because of the history of the area. It's strange because I expected the church service to be different due to that, but it wasn't really. Just some jokers praising God. It's good to know that despite the differences in culture the Truth doesn't change. I've found that everywhere I've been.

It was overcast again today so I'm crossing my fingers and dotting my t's for sun tomorrow.

Whew

On two accounts. The ride today from Magherafelt to Derry was more than I expected. This on two accounts, also. Sights as far as my eyes could see. The other of the original accounts is that I was going to stay with someone in the city tonight, but I think I waited too long to contact them. I checked my email just now to find that I was homeless. WAS HOMELESS. Ha, but God strikes again. I have seen more provision in the last few days than maybe ever. This could be due to me looking for it, but I know it has a lot to do with family and friends praying for me. I realized today that we have to be put outside our usual world to even appreciate what is out there. Last night was a really good night of camping by Lough Neagh (Lock Nay/not Loch Ness). I've so much to say, but internet costs 6 bucks for 30 minutes and those are almost gone. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you how God provided for tonight. I was looking for an internet cafe to see about an email from the guy I was supposed to stay

Already

This trip has gotten off to an interesting start. Already there have been adventures in simply getting to Belfast. Thankfully, there have been lots of friendly and helpful Irish along the way. Also, God is putting a hand in where need be. Let me tell you how... 1. I got to the check-in counter at Nashville's aeropuerto only to hear that my connecting flight to Newark, NJ was delayed 1.5 hrs. I didn't really have a problem with this, and I thought it might even earn me some flight bucks. No. The delay was due to weather in Houston which earns noone flight bucks. They checked other flights to find that the next definite flight that I could take was Thursday (this was Monday). I finally remember to ask God to fix it, and about thirty seconds later the guy helping me said, "Oh, wait your Belfast flight is a little delayed so it might work out." (or something to that effect) Bonus. 2. There were two other people going to Belfast from Nashville(natives), and they just happe

Tired

*I put up a video of the cliffs on the island here http://youtube.com/watch?v=Je0dsNHjyjs * Today was really good. Let's start with yesterday, though. After making my post and uploading pictures that I wasn't supposed to be able to via the Balleycastle Public Liberry, I trekked on to Cushendall. The ride was nice because the sun had broken through the overcastness. On the way up the hill out of Ballycastle I realized that I hadn't filled up my water bladder (back pack not human pack). I stopped off at a B & B and went inside to ask the owner if I could use a bathroom faucet or something. Now, I've never been inside a Bed and Breakfast, but as it turns out, you don't just walk into the living room and ask if you can use a faucet. I guess I scared the woman a little because at first she was okay with me being there but then she changed her tune and told me that you don't just walk into someone's house and show yourself around (or something like that. I do
