October is in the Air!

Last night was the first night that it was cool enough to open the window in my room to let in the refreshing air, giving the AC a rest. Although it is not 'cool' by my Colorado standards, it is nice to know that fall does come to Florida and that it will not always be super hot. I laugh as I type this because it is 5pm and still the the 80's right now... but it is feeling more pleasant overall.

Most every Thursday morning the RUF guys that live in the building behind my apartment host a breakfast were we make pancakes, eggs, bacon, and sausage. We usually have around a half dozen people show up who do not have class in the morning. This morning Eli had a special treat... fresh bacon from a friend who owns pigs. It was thick and awesome! The picture on the left was a special creation: Pepper-jack cheese covered in the fresh bacon, surrounded by another layer of cured bacon. We put this beauty on the grill outside until she was flame kissed to perfection. In the other picture you can see Eli divvying up portions to excited men. Bacon is amazing, and when you add cheese and more bacon to it... Wow. I will need to get the recipe to the chef in Heaven, lest my joy be incomplete.









Tomorrow we leave for Fall Conference! Around 75 UF students will join students from 5 other RUF's in Florida for a weekend of fellowship, prayer, and growth in grace. Pray that it will be a time of true revival in the hearts of students and that eternal relationships would be planted and cultivated. God has blessed us with every good gift (especially bacon) and I pray that as we enter a new month we can use those gifts to serve his Kingdom!
