Stolen from an email.

Hey! Today was pretty boring. lol.

Saturday. The first really weekend since we got here. We all wanted to sleep in, so I did. I woke up at 10:30ish. It was really sunny outside.

First I threw together a meal. Oatmeal, yogurt, nurtigrain bars, milk? I actually don't remember. lol. I read some more of the Parables book. Today was a chapter on 'Good news for the needy' about how Jesus came to heal the sick, to seek the lost, to save those who really need it. The main parables in this chapter were from Luke 15, the lost sheep, lost coin and prodigal son. Jesus and God put in every effort to look for the lost one and rejoice when a sinner repents. Jesus wasn't hanging out with sinners instead of Pharisees because He didn't care about sin, but that He saw the need of the people and came to pay their debts and bring them back. It seemed a lot of the time that Jesus was enemies with the Pharisees always talking back, but really, they were kind of building up religion as an idol and relying on their own righteousness not admitting they need to be forgiven, when 'all have fallen short of the glory of God'.

Anyways, I also read a bunch of stuff in the Bible while reading that book, as well as a few Psalms. Psalm 78 is pretty awesome. lol. I keep seeing that any reference to the Old Testament in the New Testament is awesome, but even a 'summary chapter' like Psalm 78 was really awesome.

Isaiah 53:6 'We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way: and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.'

In one sentence most of the four laws.

lol. With the food we have been given I have been cooking things that I never cook. Actually, so far I have only cooked things I never have. lol. Grilled cheese (I actually haven't cooked a grilled cheese until yesterday), fried potatoes and onions (which I saw my dad make with hotdogs many times), oatmeal (real oatmeal not instant (Also, we don't have a microwave in our house, the girls do, but not us)), an interesting dish that is basically scrambled eggs, but with mushrooms and onions (I saw M(?) make it with bacon for breakfast). Mmmmmm. So, it's basically an all day breakfast around here. We can have sandwiches or soup as a lunch-type meal, but with 360 eggs and 11 pounds of potatoes, it's mainly breakfast. Mmmmmm Egg Tarts. I wanna find out if I can make them somehow.

Yesterday I was trying to send an email, but the internet died on me. You see I had internet and was writing it. I lost internet. A few paragraphs later I found out. I tried getting internet over and over, but it wouldn't send. It also wouldn't save. lol. I saved the email in a word doc and put it on my USB. A few hours later I was able to borrow someone's laptop. It's a mac. lol. I can't use macs apparently. Anyways, after asking how to get to the USB I finally got to it. and it was a docx file. Not compatible. Had to get a doc converter. It didn't send me the file quickly enough. Semi-Pro (Bad movie). Sleep. Sleep-in. Do everything in my power without internet. What the..? Internet!?!? Send!

So, I'm taking today as a rest day. I'll do some ministry work tomorrow. We get to go to church! Sweet.

Yep.

Ttyl.
