Ten New Things

1. I am practicing soccer as often as possible. I am resolved to use every opportunity to practice to be better prepared for wherever the Lord may send me. I came to this conclusion after visiting Peru, the recent World Cup , and thinking about how most of the world plays soccer. I am horrible.

2. I just finished reading Jerry Bridges’ Trusting God and am very thankful for that book.

3. I am reading the book How to Speak, How to Listen by Adler. He also wrote How to Read a Book which comes highly recommended by many profs at TMC. I am really enjoying it. Maybe I will post on it later.

4. Maybe, I shouldn’t have included number 2 and 3 since I am very far behind in our book club reading and posting.

5. I finished my last paper of my undergraduate work. It feels good!

6. I leave in less than a week for the Midwest to see my extended family.

7.Count down for Israel: 28 days. I made a chain.

8.I’ll write this here even though it has already been written because I am so excited and have no one else left to tell: JODI’S GOING TO ISRAEL!!!!!!!!!!! I’m jumping for joy right now.

9.I just watched The Passion of Christ. It came out when I was in Israel my first time so I had never seen it. I appreciated thinking on Christ’s suffering and God’s grace to me but there were other things about it that I did not appreciate.

10.The weather in the Bay Area is finally warm. I am enjoying the hot weather and iced coffee.
