Late Night

while laying awake at 12.30 with my mind racing, i realized that all this tea that i drink has a poor effect on me. and the tea is made by pooring the grounds into the boiling pot. so the bottom of your cup is filled with grounds - that's the part you are to chew on. who knew? not me, but i'm learning.

today is my first day of class. i'm really excited to get started on the material, and meet more people. the schedule is pretty typical. breakfast with tea, then quiet time, then praise and worship, then tea, then lecture, then lunch with tea, then lecture, then tea, then small group, then dinner with tea, then lecture, then to bed.

well sitting at the breakfast table eating my bread and tea in silence - people weren't very chatty today - i began to think about those verses which speak of bread. the 'our father' says, 'give us our daily bread'. let me tell you something about daily bread - when that's all you get, it's pretty important! but the Jesus goes on to say 'we don't live on bread alone, but on the word of God'. so that is what i'm been thinking about during this quiet time.Today's Challenge: go out of your way to say hello to someone today. let them know that they matter, even if it's someone you'll never meet again. just saying 'hello' can mean the world to someone.
