Last night I went out to eat with a group of friends to Cracker Barrel. I got some good pancakes, I must say, and my own little personal bottle of maple syrup. That was nice   Know what was also nice about last night? Realizing that although I miss my last college, and left many friends there, I now have many friends here, at my new college. I am looking forward to this semester, although academically it's I know it's going to be tough. I've probably said and/or written all of that before, so I guess that was just a reiteration to myself

My ever talented little sister Rebekah, who just started her freshman year at college, has recently landed a pretty big role in the school play The Importance of Being Ernest, as Lady Bracknell. Apparently her acting skills plus her nearly flawless British accent put her ahead of even some of the upperclassmen. I'm pretty proud of her, as it's a big school and it was no piece of cake to win that role.

I tried out a new church with one of my friends today. The service was more contemporary and the music maybe louder and faster than I would have preferred, but it was overall a good service. One of the songs we sang was awesome, because it was from a passage in Matthew 11 that I really love:

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

I don't think that I had ever heard that passage put into song, so when I saw those words up on the screen I had to smile, both outwardly and inwardly.

This is going to be my last Sunday for a long while that I can just relax during the day, because I am not working tomorrow, nor do I have any homework due. I shall try to enjoy it, even if it's kinda rainy and yucky outside, since I don't particularly like gray days.

Sometimes I wish I had wings. Okay, I wish that almost every day.
