So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

De retour � Paris
Sunday. 1.25.15 5:26 pm
I'm back in France... wooooo!!!

I dropped my bags off at my hotel and went straight to church. THERE WERE ALL OF MY OLD FRIENDS!!! It was great to see them. The sermon was pretty interesting, too. The pastor started out with an anecdote about how nice answering machines are because they let you know who has been trying to call you. Then he made the link that maybe God has been trying to reach you (give you a call), but He hasn't been able to get through.... luckily He left a Message. It was clever.

I told them that it had been impossible for me to find a church like this one back home. They said that almost everyone who leaves says that-- they say that not only are the churches elsewhere not "the same", they're not even close. Ain't that the truth. I'll be back in church on Tuesday.

After church my job was to stay awake, so I took off across town. I walked from close to the Eiffel Tower all the way back to near Bastille, which is waaaaaaay completely across town. My feet and legs ached by the time I arrived at my apartment. The jetlag seized me at last and I collapsed on my bed and woke up some four hours later dying of starvation. What's open at 10 pm on a Sunday in Paris? MCDONALD'S. So I darted out for some Mickey D's.

It's strange being back. After being in the US for a while, Paris looks like a very dirty city. (After being in Naples, Italy for a while, Paris looks immaculately clean). The tourists are all walking around taking pictures, but it's all so familiar to me that it seems strange that they would take pictures of things that are so prosaic.

As for me, I take pictures of pigeons, because every pigeon is beautiful.

Tomorrow I get to see all of my office friends and start work on my coding project. Yahoo.

I'm not a churchgoer, but this church you speak of has me intrigued. Should I ever find myself in Paris, I'll get in touch with you regarding the whereabouts of this church. =) I'm glad your work has brought you back to a place you enjoy.

What do you like about that church in particular? I don't think I've seen where you describe it.

Agreed about the pigeons. I have such a fondness for them...

Does the French McDonald's have any interesting menu items?
