So let's see life update: one final down (A) three to go, hopefully with similar results, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. today i took church history and wasn't worried about it, but i'm glad to be done and able to move on to the next test. i'll most likely take stats tomorrow geography wednesday (worried about that one) and then take D&C on thursday and fly home. can't wait!
Christmas thought for today comes from one of my favorite books. i wish i had it here, i'll just have to wait till i go home. If you have it go read it, it will make your heart grow three sizes :)
"Every Who down in Whoville liked Christmas a lot, but the Grinch, who lived just north of Whoville - did not. The Grinch hated Christmas - the whole Christmas season. Now, please don't ask why; no one quite knows the reason. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. Or it could be that his head wasn't screwed on just right. But I think that the most likely reason of all may have been that his heart was two sizes too small."
you all know the story, the Grinch takes all of Christmas, the decorations, the presents, even the feast, and then he waits to hear the Whos cry when they realize there will be no Christmas. Suddenly he hears them singing together.
"He puzzled and puzzled till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! Maybe Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas... perhaps... means a little bit more! And what happened then? Well, in Whoville they say that the Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day."
Let's remember this Christmas season, that the true meaning of Christmas doesn't come from finding the perfect gift, it comes from the spirit of Christ and his birth and life and of loving those around us.
