521 hours until my next..... much need trip of R and R. September has been a nightmare of issues with logistics, people need way to much of me, old family popping up unexpectedly with stuff I didn’t want to bargain for, and school.
Not sure I got the numbers right but close enough.

Did you ever buy that vacation home you were talking about a couple months ago?

501 hours.
Yes we did. I did not realize I told you all on here. But this time we will be going Vegas for a week. We will goto Colorado for three weeks in December. But my highlight at the moment is Vegas.
Never been. I need the diversion.

Vegas is a city I kinda wanna see, but I feel like one night would be enough. I just want to see it all lit up.
I'm going for a vacation in two weeks - Great Ocean Road.

I'm thinking about going to Costa Rica in January.

Lol. I would love to but I know I’ll have school. Do you do missionary work down there or is it vacation?

Umm... missionary work? That's not a thing in my denomination and culture. It's vacation time, baby! Vidapura!

Umm... missionary work? That's not a thing in my denomination and culture. You're Anglican. Anglicans do missionary work (although we call it 'mission' to try to avoid the stigma of colonial superiority).

Not in my culture. (Or at least in my Diocese...) This is what the Anglican Church of Canada says about Mission: www.anglican.ca/gifts/

Ah, I see. My church supports mission partners in Paraguay, Uganda, North Sudan and another country that I'm not allowed to say for security reasons. The following is a link to a child crisis centre in Uganda that my church supports (I constructed their first website a number of years ago when it was being built). www.pottersvillage.org.uk/potters-village-ministry/photo-gallery/We do also support home missions but I think foreign missions get most of the attention.

Do they have to become Christians to get help?

Post by tangent on Sept 28, 2019 21:44:59 GMT
No, they concentrate on (or the greatest need is for) babies whose mothers cannot support them, regardless of the mothers' faith. The centre sees them as people not as potential converts.

That is very good because I do not like it when religion tries to mark me for converting to whatever it is they want.
353 hours. Closing in to fast now. I hate airplanes.

Haven't counted the hours, but 3 more working days. One of those I'll be training all day, and the other I'll be at our Fine Arts and Music campus so that will be very quiet. I can listen to work related podcasts.

Don’t feel like counting at the moment. 😂

Lol. Passed that now. At the Venetian and enjoying finally a much needed getaway. Today was spa, pool day, and night clubs in the late being after the show . In a couple days got to get back to reality. 😝.
Friends picked us up yesterday and took us away from the strip for the day. That was nice and fun.

I do wonder how relaxing Las Vegas would be. But if you are doing pools and spas that may be.
I'm quite relaxed after our week walking beaches, forests and seeing lots of wildlifes.
