This week I...
- Attended a seminar on the book of Revelation- What stuck out to me, you ask? I would say Dr. Carr (the professor who led the seminar) and his discussion of God being a God of justice, standing with the poor and oppressed, and how the church is to hasten the coming of the kingdom by also fighting for justice, standing for the poor and oppressed, and etc. here on earth. "Hastening the kingdom"....hmmmm. I'm still pondering this one...
- Made homemade pizzas from scratch (dough and sauce INCLUDED!)
- Dinner picnic with the young folk at Dolphin's Nose
- Met with my Senior Girls group and the topic chosen for next week....FEMALE INFANTICIDE. I LOVE this group of girls. Girls dealing with real issues.
- While in the midst of teaching, I asked a young boy to read a scripture as part of my lesson, but he repeatedly refused to do so, but in a very polite and respectful way. The type of manner in which you could not get upset with his outright disregard of your request as the teacher. So obviously throwing me for a loop, I inquired as to why he can't read the simple single verse and he replies, "I am Hindu." Well, I can't say I have ever heard that before. Needless to say, I moved on to the next student, but those few minutes, those few exchanged words created a moment I will never forget.
- I indulged a little this week. I enjoyed a half hour back and shoulder massage. I mean others had told me about this place and needing to go there, so I did the only responsible thing and went in to check out the services and ensure that everything was up to standard. Don't worry, I was sure not to overdo it, hence just the 30 minute massage, but after having to only pay a little over $7, I have stamped the establishment as MASSAGE SERVICE APPROVED.
