I am sitting in a lab at school; I'm sitting on one of those spinning office chairs, and I just realized how comfortable they are. I'm reading Material Science, listening to Beethoven, nothing special. I just returned from a bathroom break (I love how awkward it is that people wonder what someone emerging from a toilet actually went in to do, you know, which one of the possible two...well, there are so many other options: pick your nose, check to make sure a friend is doing okay in there, burst a pimple, dance in front of the mirror; but that is besides the point. I find it funny that people find themselves involuntarily thinking which of the two someone did; or maybe I'm wrong, and the person who told me that he/she (for the sake of confidentiality) thinks that is a weirdo).
Anyways, have you ever thought about shaking hands with someone without knowledge of what the hand has been used for? In a way, the archaic elitist tradition of not shaking hands with "a commoner" is smart because I just saw a kid walk into one of the toilet stalls, do whatever he did (I don't really care which in this case), and walk right out without washing his hands.
Thank God I never shake hands with him.

Speaking of thanking God, Mat. Sci study seems to be going well considering that I have skipped two weeks of class, and so, something came over me and I started thanking God. Then, a small voice at the back of my mind asked,

Do you only thank God because you see what He is doing?

If there's so much I must be, can I still be me, the way I am?

God's goodness

I can't understand why God is so good to me; sometimes, I feel like I'm the luckiest person in the world. I don't care that it is cliche; that's the way I feel. Some days, I'm just so perfect in my gifts and there isn't even a tint of insecurity with the things that I am not good at. I don't think I give God enough credit for all He has done for me; I don't care that it is cliche, that's the way I feel.
No matter how much we thank God, it cannot be enough...I don't think that's true because when we realize how much God is doing in our lives and we praise Him for it, we are constantly sitting by His throne. And even when we think we don't thank Him enough, God quiets our troubled hearts and says, "This is My son with whom I'm well pleased."

I wish I could've lived in the days of the prophet Elijah, dined with King David, talked with the apostles John and Paul, and walked with Jesus...What glorious thought. Bless the day the thought was birthed. How glorious it would be if we spent all of our days thinking about Jesus; what secrets He would reveal to us.
