I need the smell of Summer, I need its noises in my ear
The weather report says it's going to snow on Thursday. Seriously. I wasn't expecting it this fast but what the heck. I have to get used to it sometime right?
My classes are fun, they're really forcing me to think a lot. For example, in geology we've been talking about the age of the earth a lot and it's really been forcing me to examine what I believe. Honestly I've discovered I have no idea what I believe. There are so many theories and very little concrete evidence for them. I guess at Redwood we never really talked about it. If I remember correctly we just talked about evolution a lot. So, yeah, rocks and all that jazz.
It's funny when you look at people. CS lewis said something profound once (actually quite often) but hear me out. He was talking about how we treat people and he basically said you would never treat people the same if you looked at them the way God does. As an eternal heir in his kingdom. As his glorious and loved creation. It's definitely a new approach for me.
Am I a pessimist? Possibly. As soon as I think about it I think of how fallen people are, I think about how sinful I am. I've noticed something in my life, I can't believe it's taken this long to sink in but, oh well. Sins multiply exponentially. For example, if I'm arrogant and think I'm a lot better at something than my lab partner than it's much easier for me to become impatient. If I'm impatient it's a lot easier to get mad at them, and then by the end of the experiment I can barely even look at them. However, if I had just had a spirit of humility I could have avoided all the following sins. This isn't really a complicated system, maybe I've just been living in denial.
