It's been about a month since I've written anything about the CPx course that I'm doing just now. Truth be told, I've been having a bit of a rough time. I don't know if it's culture shock, team dynamics or generally losing motivation for missions, but somewhere along the lines things got a bit tough. Some people tend to get more communicative at such times but I tend to withdraw and go quiet.
I'm feeling a bit better now but I still reckon God's challenging me by putting me in situations that make me uncomfortable to expose my heart and turn me to Him.
It's only three weeks until I go home for Christmas and I think it'd be a huge relief to be around people who understand me a bit better. I've been getting a number of odd questions from well-meaning locals saying things like "So do you celebrate Christmas on the 25th of December over there in Scotland?" There's only so much of that you can take before it gets annoying. I've also realised that after a while you start to feel like you're uniquely "special" in the oddness of your worldview. I remember one time coming home and being really excited about driving in Scotland because other drivers responded the way I expected them to. For instance, when I came up behind someone in the fast lane, they'd change lanes to let me past. It may be a small thing, but it's just one example of people seeing the world the same way.
I've got a few videos I made recently so I thought it was about time to upload them to YouTube.
The first one here is my attempt at a "Borat" impression while out in my kilt in Kansas City. You need to take my word about the kilt part, you can't actually see it in the video.
Video number 2 is a brief rant about the fact that they had a Christmas celebration in November and it wasn't even Thanksgiving yet.
Finally (for now) we have my thoughts on the possible onset of winter.
