Amazing Grace

Top of the Mornin' To Ye! First, I should probably apologize for disappearing off the face of the planet this past week. This weekend was really tough and I know that the next couple of weeks ahead of me are not going to be much easier. Today, especially, was difficult. I will just be plain about all of this...I have felt lower than I ever thought was possible this semester. It's hard to go to sleep at night and hard to get up in the morning. My spirit is not restful a lot of days and my heart is bleeding...but it's a little more open that way. ; )

I went to my first class this morning and we watched a movie that completely made fun of Christians and Christ. On the way to my second class (instead of the nice free cup of hot chocolate that I usually snag near the UMC) people were handing out Charles Darwin's Origin of Species and saying "Lives are Changed with Information." And when I arrived at my second class we talked about how Frederick Nietzsche had apparently found a morality that predates "Judeo Christian Morals." As if it were elementary to believe that morals were given to us by God. With all of this happening, I then realized that I am also required for RA purposes to attend a presentation called the Tunnel of Oppression.

The Enemy was picking on me today.


I said a few Hail Mary's as I saw people picking up the Darwin books, but I was feeling spiritually low this morning. I get back to my room, intent on cleaning it...maybe taking a nap...maybe doing homework. BUT, I check my e-mail first just on the off chance that something came in in the few short hours I was at class and I get an e-mail from my mom with this video attached. I got the goosebumps.

The video speaks for itself and I love this song so much. Please enjoy it and know that the Lord is with us always.
