Operation 'Bouncing Christmas Balls' - Last few days, Days 7, 8, 9 (i think)

Man I am losing track of where we are and what we are up. Been a relaxing & at the same time filled last few days. They have been spent with the Iron Maiden leaving at 06:00 on her bike and heading through the hills, doing a 50 & 60km cycle with Julian, taking drives around the passes and scenic roads, watching Johnny Clegg at the picturesque Kirstenbosch Botanical gardens, beautiful sun sets, the best weather the cape has ever seen, spending time with friends (Diane & Clive; Nicoleen & Gary), getting burnt at one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen (Ludadno) - watching a seal catch a fish right on the shore line, with dolphins playing in the background and surfers trying in vain to catch some waves) & deep deep fried fish & chips from Kalky's (the original fish & chip shop in Kalk bay - would not recommend it though).
 
Anyway, it has been a good couple of days. Beautiful weather, with it now turned overcast & rainy. But been awesome.

Holy Discontent - Bill Hybels

The author challenges us to say what is our / my Holy Discontent. What is that thing that you just feel I must do something about, at whatever the cost! He uses the example of a Mother Theresa in India, a Martin Luther King who said I cant stand for racism and inequality any more.

What did I take from this book? Well what is my Holy Discontent? What is that thing that drives me deep to the core and at whatever cost I must do!
