Back in Bangkok: So many things have changed
After a very refreshing time in Chiang Mai, I'm back in Bangkok. I wanted to stay a little longer in Chiang Mai, but couldn't change my return date.
Anyhow, during my week away, I noticed several construction projects have started on Sukhumvit Road, which seems to make the bad traffic a little worse.
My apartment also had some changes: new bookshelf and TV stand now replace the old and somewhat tacky ones. My photos are now off the walls - which means it's time for me to get my act together and print up my newer photos. My room also gets a new bookshelf.
Coming back to Bangkok also means returning to the pressures and bustle of life here. (Saturday night, on our way to Saxophone Pub for Amber's birthday, Art, Enrique and I were stuck in traffic by Central World Plaza [formerly known as World Trade Center] because a midnight marathon race was underway.)
However, I'm still processing the amazing conversations and time spent in Chiang Mai. Some themes I'm going through include: fidelity (faithfulness), the pursuit of Christ-likeness (fidelity to the process of becoming more Christ-like), and evangelism and discipleship as the process of introducing and encouraging others to pursue Christ-likeness. I'll put up some more concrete thoughts when I've had more sleep.
Well, I'm planning to visit Chiang mai again mid-November. I'm looking forward to another Thursday trivia night at the U.N. Irish Pub in Chiang Mai!
