Our new Sunday routine:
- Sleep in until 6:45am (no seriously, this is sleeping in - classes during the week start at 6:00am in order to beat the heat)
- Pack a backpack (contents: water, iPod, headphone splitter and 3,000 pesos to buy some fruit)
- Run up Ziruma (the mountain between Santa Marta and Rodadero) and down into Rodadero
- Take a quick swim in the Caribbean before settling in to a Matt Chandler sermon on the beach
- Bus back to the apartment in time to make 9:00am church at La Esperanza

This past Sunday, as we walked into the beautiful, clear, cold water after the long run, we couldn’t help but remember that some people really believe that this world was created by accident. That somehow, a big ball of fire created the breathtaking beauty that surrounds us. We aren’t experts on the theories of creationism vs. evolution, but we are convinced that if you do two things you’ll begin to see the reality of an all-powerful Creator:
- Get outside – not just a power-walk to the office in the middle of a concrete jungle, we mean really get outside.
- Be quiet – put the iPhone away - heck, even turn off twitter and ignore your emails for a few minutes and simply look at the natural beauty of the world that surrounds us. It is awe-inspiring. And it wasn’t an accident.
