"The greatest revenge is to accomplish what others say you cannot do"

Today was really good. This morning, we discussed Nouwan's book further. The discussion was very convicting for me because it discussed the idea of community and how we can not live in community while at the same time always having the desire  for recognition and to get ahead. That is one of the major things that separates Jesus' actions from ours. With the exception of when He was tempted,  He was never alone except when he was praying. I think that proves something about us. When we are alone, it is easy to let our minds wander, to become prideful, and ultimately to sin. But, together with others we are held accountable. I made lunch for us and it turned out alright, which I was happy about. The Romanian lesson went really well and was fun because it digressed into all of us playing Backstreet Boys songs and talking about what flavor dance biscuit we want to be. Lack of sleep will do that to you. Lavina stayed for dinner and we played black jack afterwards. All in all, a great day.
