So did I mention that I went to the Oscars this year?!
Unfortunately they were on board Logos Hope, so I didn’t get to meet any celebrities. Last week we had our annual “LogOscars” competition,
where crewmembers can submit videos they have made and they are judged, and everybody dresses up and walks down a red carpet (sliver – we are broke after all). I was part of a movie called ‘Doppelgänger’, which was an ironic take on the fact that everybody on the ship mixes up everybody else’s names. We didn’t win any prizes, but at least we were all laughing when our movie was shown!
The LogOscars was just one part of Sabbath Week – the time in the year when the whole community gets to chill for five days.
We like to think of it as sleep time, but the leaders are keen to emphasise the three Rs – rest, reflection and refreshment. Or something like that. The latter two sound a bit active for our liking. We had daily teaching sessions on the book of Luke from a cool guy called Julyan, who has worked with OM for years. I was asked to lead the praise and worship for the whole time, so I was kept pretty busy organising the band. However, all afternoons and most evenings were free, and the weather was lovely, which meant lots of beach, park and ice-cream time! Denmark is crazy expensive, but it’s beautiful in the summer sunshine.
