but church today changed my mind.
was it realizing that 'adam' was in the bishopric?or was it larry king sitting in front of me with his wife, kids, and nanny?
either way, i was reminded that new york will never be 'just another city.'
after getting up and ready, deb and i headed straight over to the church building, hoping to catch an earlier sacrament meeting than hers. and as luck would have it, we arrived just in time for the morningside heights meeting. it was lucky indeed, because as it turned out, it was an excellent one.
today was fast and testimony meeting, and the members who took the opportunity to share their testimonies, brought with them a special spirit. many of the members were visitors, one from finland, another from arizona, one from mexico, several from utah...most of whom shared the same message, that of hope, faith, and a deep knowledge and understanding of god's love for us. deb and i both felt blessed to have had the opportunity to be there.
after church we stopped for lunch at a fabulous french cafe in the time warner building, then headed back to her apartment where we changed into swimsuits and made a visit to her rooftop pool. we did a little reading, a little swimming, and a little hot tubbing. there is something about being able to see the empire stte building from the hot tub that is truly unique.
after more showering to cleanse the chlorine, we decided to take a walk. we headed to central park, but made a stop in columbus circle where we sat and enjoyed the artistry of the fountains, and self-portrait taking. deb and i are attempting to add the 'serious' look to our repertoire, but it needs some work. stay tuned for further details on our progress.when it started to rain, we walked back to deb's via tasti d-lite, and spent the rest of the evening enjoying some down time in front of the tube.
tomorrow, we are headed back to the beach, and i cannot wait!
