Nowhere to sit and do that and a sandwich isn't enough food. *shrug* I'll go with the book option, for sure. :)<br /><br />Yes, I did. Because I have no choice. I have no one to go with me! I am an island of theological desire in a sea of people who don't care! Hence my problem with going to the mosque, remember? No one to be brave with me!Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-54346777858072074202011-04-28T21:30:45.487-04:002011-04-28T21:30:45.487-04:00LK,

I've found that if I treat anything I'd otherwise feel uncomfortable with as a mindfulness exercise, I get to go to cool places and enrich my prayer life! If your friend can't go with you Sunday, maybe try praying about what you're eating à la Thich Nhat Hanh?Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17095657063693931200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-90565700578782944572011-04-28T15:15:39.314-04:002011-04-28T15:15:39.314-04:00Well, yes. :D And I'm going to invite them.

Couldn't they come a little earlier and eat lunch with you? Either way, yay! I hope you have fun and enjoy the food. :)<br /><br />Also, ditto the last paragraph.
