Every line of this entry starts with I. just thought you should know.

I am kind of overwhelmed with the beauty of so many people around me.

I am feeling like an ass though. I am learning what it means to be willing to fail and taking ownership of the foolish things I do.

I celebrated the Jewish Sabbath, Shabbat Shalom, last night. It was one of the best meals I have ever had. An evening of gratitude, and learning about people, and having conversations that were so beautiful I was almost brought to tears. Jesus himself is within these people. and that radical love breaks my heart. It is crazy to think that Jesus said those same prayers that I said and had a similar experience of community and thanksgiving every seventh day of his life. I love those traditions that are sopping in history. I love being a part of something so great. oh so great.

I am studying so many things that are utterly heart-breaking. It would be so easy to become bitter and angry at America and at Christians. I am just realizing how much I am going to have to rely on God the next few years as I learn about and experience some rather evil things that man is doing.

I just enjoyed a lovely cup of roobios tea. mmm. Now I am going to consume as much Vitamin C as I can so that The Swine doesn't get me.
