Last night I went with the Hamiltons to the Guy Fawkes (hope I spelled that unfortunate individual's name right) celebrations. Guy was a guy who tried to blow up the houses of Parliament in 1604 (around then, anyway): he was caught, hung, drawn and quartered and dragged though the streets. The British have celebrated the day for over 400 years now. Huh. Kind of bloodthirsty.
We had a very fun time. We went for pizza and then walked to Midsummer common. The fireworks were lovely, and Mr. Hamilton bought Sarah and I ice cream cones while we watched. Later I had a good talk with Ian and Joan about how God guides us, the Sovereignty of God, and obedience. A good quote from Augustine via Ian: "Love God and do what you like." If we love God, our chief goal is to please Him. Our likes will reflect our goal.
Tonight I am going to a formal hall at Sydney College with someone from church. I am really looking forward to it!
