Finals Have Such a... Finality About Them.

Listening to: Sigh No More (Mumford and Sons)

Still reading: Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte)

  Day #3:

"A photo of yourself and a description of how your day was."

See my tired eyes?  That's not from studying for finals.  That's from watching too much Dexter too late at night!

I woke up at 9:00 to clear skies and sunshine, feeling rested and ready to go!  After a cup of tea, a chocolate covered donut, and a refreshing shower, I began to finish up packing for the homeward trek this afternoon (Did I forget anything? Pajamas, toothbrush, Shakespeare plushy... I think I'm good).  In two hours I will be declaring a jihad on my Islam final and then delivering some Christmas cards to the mail box.  Oh, and I definitely see a white chocolate mocha somewhere in my future tonight.

Xmas-9:

Matthew 1:19-24

Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.

 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”

 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 

“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).

 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 

 God bless!
