JOURNAL:

Yesterday I found out that the devotees are coming into town for Harinaam Sankirtan tonight. I rarely get an opportunity like this. The temple is almost thirty miles from where I live and tonight I will only have to travel ten.

I wonder if I will know anyone? It has been some time since the devotees moved away from Portland and into Hillsboro. Of course, it doesn't really matter. I just want to hang out and sing the Lord's names with them. It sounds like a great way to spend a Friday night!
