Well, today was quite an interesting day with most of it on the road. Needless to say I got neither homework nor studying done but I am ok with that. I mentioned my dentist appointment in the last post. That went well, although I did have a bit of excitement on the way there. A semi was turning and apperently didn't have enough room so the guy in front of me backed up, without realizing I was there. We bumped bumpers pretty good but there was no real damage done. Considering I got the car free I was a bit more worried that perhaps he did some damage to his vehicle than what he did to mine :-P. It was all good though because neither one really got any damage.
Being on the road really gave me time to be depressed. It also gave me time to be mad at myself and the world. Then I got back to school and was given a reality check as I sat in and even participated a little bit on some theological issues. No longer was it all about me. I wish I could realize that more often. It really feels good right now to know that what is happening in my life is really not anything that I should truly be concerned about. What I need to concerned about is my relationship with God and how I interact with Him and let the other pieces of "reality" fall where they may. The physical world is only a means to an end and that end is knowing God as much as possible. Also, the pizza was good at the get together :-D.
Well, that's all I have for this evening/morning. I think I will end this blog with a challenge. I challenge you to live outside of yourself. I challenge you to try to focus anywhere but on yourself for a whole day. This does not mean purposefully doing things that you know you don't like or that you wouldn't usually do. Do that some other time. I am challenging you to not think of your problems, your stories, your joys, your pains, your anything for a day and focus on God and others. This is your mission, should you choose to accept.
This webpage will self-destruct in 5...4...3...2...1...*Unknown error in self-destruct protical.* Hmm...guess that didn't work. Oh well, you guys get to keep the page, this time...God bless and good luck!
