This morning I woke up and listened to a message from John Piper online and sang for my personal time of spiritual renewal and study. The message was on Ephesians 1:15-23 about the immeasurable greatness of Christ’s power at work in believers. It was a great study!
We walked through a flea market selling antiques in Berlin this afternoon. We met up with friends of Mark and Nancy's while we were there. He is a well-known antique dealer.
For lunch we all went to a Turkish restaurant. The antique-dealer’s son and family joined us there. I ate so much I felt like bursting, but everyone kept saying “here, try this” even if I said no thanks. I tried liver, lamb, and a bunch of other dishes, but mostly ate chicken with rice. It was really good. They make a watered-down yogurt, olive oil, and salt drink which cleans out your system.
We left the restaurant and went to the friends apartment where we drank tea and everyone ate more food! I tried to refuse everything they offered, but the wife just wouldn’t take no for an answer. So I had a little bowl of coconut and strawberry ice cream. The men smoked cigars and talked. I was tired, so my mind wandered and I stared into space a few times.
We left their house and were able to enjoy a relaxing evening. I really want to start exercising again. I’m feeling completely out of shape and lazy.
