Day 603

Apparently I have school or something tomorrow?  Nonsense... it's still Sunday, right?  No... no it's not.  Well, I guess I'll write this thing now.

Ok, so today started like many other Sundays.  We got up and went to church with Jessie and Richard.  Pastor Mark continued his lesson from last week concerning loving others.  He made a really good point today that I felt was well stated.  Essentially, we shouldn't simply tolerate other people and their beliefs... we should actively love them.  Tolerance implies being passive and just co-existing.  Love is active and aggressive.  Jesus didn't just smile and nod at the untouchables of his day... he hugged them and ate with them.  He was pretty much the Man.

After church we got some lunch then headed up to Blufton for Grandpa's 80th birthday party.  We were in for a surprise, however, when the road we were taking was incredibly blocked due to the rain from last night.  It was really bad.  We had to turn around a number of times before being able to get there.

We got there in time to see Uncle Nick's picture presentation, then hear some of the cousins read a poem for Grandpa.  It was a really nice party and I could tell that everyone put a lot of time and thought into it.  So we all sat around and socialized for a while, then got together for a family picture.

When we returned I got back to studying.  It's always a rude awakening when I've had a lovely day of not studying and then I have to go back at it.  Yarg.  And I know that studying is just going to get harder once I'm working.  Oh, only a few more years.

Well.  I think that's about it from me.  Tomorrow's going to be a fun-filled day!

Night.
