It was a restful weekend, the perfect start to a wonderful week of Fall Break. I've still got a great deal on my mind, but at least now I have the time and the extra brain space since midterms are, for the most part, over and I don't have classes for a week. I now have the time to sit and reflect on the most recent happenings all around us. We are surrounded. Surrounded by disaster and death. Every time I flip on the TV, more people are reported dead. Hurricanes in the southeastern US, mudslides in Guatemala, the deadly bird flu in Asia that may become pandemic, earthquakes in Pakistan killing thousands... So much death all at once. Sometimes it is hard not to despair, but then I think back on all of the wonderful, Heaven-blessed things that have also happened recently. I mean, one thing that has remained in my thoughts since the beginning of the semester is the fact that a good friend of mine named Adam has been able to be here (at Bryan, that is) with us all this time -- all because of a great donation made by a relatively poor man who took the money out of his equity loan. As long as people like that still roam the earth, I have hope. I only pray that I might be even half the person he is. I see pain and suffering everywhere I turn, but the fact remains that God is with us. Always.
P.S. Tomorrow's the date with Jared ^.^ -- and don't worry, Christina, I won't tell you how Serenity ends, I promise. LoL
Shopping list (cuz if I don't put it here, I WILL forget by the time I get back to school):
