My last couple of days in San Diego were hampered by a nasty head cold that came out of nowhere. On Saturday morning before our flight, Maggie and I drove up to the Quail Botanical Gardens in Encinitas. It’s a stunning place (lots of bamboo)… and I lasted about 30 minutes before crawling into the car for a nap. As our jet was descending into Midway my ears were popping like crazy. I was doing that fake yawn thing- looking like an idiot- with little effect.

All that to say, I did make it to the 11:00 service at PCC this morning to hear Brian’s sermon. I came late, left early, and sat in the back so as not to contaminate anyone. Really appreciated the teaching on contentment. It’s one I can’t hear enough.
