Tuesday, September 18, 2007 - I keep saying this, but I really like this place. Saw my friend Chester who's currently in seminary at starbucks again today.. This time we talked for 4 hours, basically all on theology. Chester is also an accomplished author who has publications, teaches history, and is getting his degree at Talbot seminary in Christian philosophy. He also gave me a 442 page powerpoint slide he put together on many, many subjects - exegesis, hermaneutics, philosophy - some he composed himself, some taken from various sources. This will probably keep me occupied for the rest of my life; seriously. During our conversation he told me - "This is actually really sad, but out of all the people I know at Talbot this is probably the best theological conversation I've had." Coming from who this came from, this is possibly one of the biggest compliments I've received in my life.
Earlier today at starbucks I talked with a guy named Rick for about 2 hours.. He had been through shockingly similar circumstances with his marriage. He had an undergrad degree in chemistry and a masters in environmental science, so we talked at length about science. Eventually we began talking about religion (this keeps happening, I don't know if that's my fault or what), and we had so much in common as he comes from a scientific background but sees many parallels with religion as well. He is now involved in ministry.
I am starting to dread leaving on Thursday, but I have a journey to complete, so I gotta move on, dangit.

Think about what you like about San Clemente, both logically and at a gut-feel level. Those are useful clues.
