They go beyond kettle corn and crepe stands; you’ll find quality produce sold by California farmers. What’s more, there’s one every day of the week (except for Mondays).

With over 100 stalls of farm-fresh organic fruits and veggies, crafts E sold by local artisans and a diverse spread of drool-worthy goodies, and a live bluegrass band, its variety is unmatched in San Diego. Plus, most of the midweekers flock to Normal Street on Sundays, so if you missed the heir- loom guy on Thursday, you can catch him — and a fleet of his competitors — in the lively Hillcrest venue. Of course, popularity has its downfalls: The Sunday market is almost always overcrowded, the prices for some products aren’t much different from those you’d find in a grocery store and parking is a mess. If possible, arrive near opening or closing. If you show up early, you up your chances of finding a nearby parking spot in the congested neighborhood, and you get first pick of the freshest produce (not that there’s a dearth). At the end of the day, parking loosens up again, and many vendors slash their prices in the half-hour before closing — so drag yourself out of bed at 8 a.m. or stick around ’til 2 p.m. for the best shopping experience. The Hillcrest market also boasts a sizable selection of nonedible fare. You’ll find vintage costume jewelry, winter scarves, a replacement for your funky-odored book bag and a variety of flowers to bring home to wifey. Just like the produce, prepared food is plentiful. Expect farmers-market usuals — meats on sticks, meats wrapped in some sort of carb, imported cheeses — and some unusuals — coconut pancakes, raw vegan meals that actually taste good, fresh ceviche and fresh pasta — not the dried supermarket stuff. But before you line up for a squash-blossom tamale, work the aisles for some free samples: sweet stone fruits, sticky persimmons, ripe guavas, homemade salsa, crusty bread and whatever else you can find. After thirty minutes of smiling politely and stuffing your face you’ll probably be good ’til dinner time.

It was three days into Christmas break my senior year at college. I had stayed over to work on a paper about Jesus. I remember reading something like this in one book: “Jesus wasn’t saying to believe this creed or that set of ethics. He was saying, ‘Give me your life! Follow me, Either – Or, Yes or No, paint or get off the ladder!’” My heart responded and I poured out all my pent up feelings and thoughts. “Yes! Yes, Jesus – I want to follow You, I want to be like You. You are my Hero… Yes! Yes! Yes!” At that point an amazing thing happened, something that completely changed my life. A veil in the spiritual realm was lifted, and God’s love powerfully engulfed me. I felt an incredible sense that I was known and cared for by an infinite, personal Spiritual Being. “God is! Life matters! It has meaning! There is a purpose for my life!” I wept on and off for days. Jesus revealed Himself to me, personally -- to my heart, my mind, and my spirit.

I believe that if God did that for me, He will do that for you. If He loves me, He loves you. If He created me and has a purpose for my life, He created you and has a purpose for your life. Some believe we can create our own reality, at least in the spiritual realm, and that all our ideas and beliefs are equally valid. But God either exists or He doesn’t, regardless of what you or I believe about it. Let me close with a question to you: If God exists, and if He reveals Himself to you in a way that is unmistakable to you, are you willing to accept Him? If Jesus Christ is God incarnate, the hope of the world, do you want to know it and will you follow Him?

FENCING — UCSD’s first important road meet of the 2009 season ended on a positive note after the team went up against tough Division-I oppo- nents on Nov. 14 at the NCAA West Invitational. Held in Palo Alto, Calif., the meet pitted the Tritons against Stanford University, Northwestern University and the University of Detroit Mercy. The meet turned out good results for the Tritons, with both the men’s and women’s squads rallying up points that will weigh heavily on rankings for the NCAA Championships next Spring.
