slice o' life

I'm about to finish my 4th week of classes. Is that even possible? Already? I guess I'm grateful for that. I don't get a flock of butterflies in my stomach before trekking to class anymore. And for the first time, I actually spoke up in my Theories class. (You know those classes where people say über intelligent things and you end up just sitting there, dumbfounded? It's one of those classes.)

We're rapidly approaching the season of bonfires, warm sweaters, and crisp morning air. As sad as I'll be to say good-bye to sweet (and unbelievably hot) Summer, bring on Autumn! No more 90 degree weather, please and thanks.

For those who are already familiar with the book, "Valley of Vision" - why didn't you take me by the shoulders and tell me, "YOU MUST READ THIS!" (actually, thanks for not doing that because I probably would've been really confused...)

Just a small expert from the prayer Resting on God:

"Grant me to know that I truly live only when I live to thee, that all else is trifling." Wow. These are powerful words. Especially living in a world that is highly embracing of relativism: your truth, my truth, his truth - it's all fine. But no. All else is trifling. There is only one way to truly live. One. My prayer is that God will show show me how to live this out in an honest, but compassionate way towards others. Amen.

Happy Wednesday, friends. And thanks to my 2.3 readers out there for sticking with my ramblings.
