Well, today was a good day, here's what i do, EVERY MORNING:
1. Wake up to classical music
2. Exercise (Push-ups, Sit-ups, I really should add more)
3. Spend some quiet time with God
Today I read Acts 4:32-36
32All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. 33With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. 34There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need.
36Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means Son of Encouragement), 37sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet.
(From Biblegateway.com)
It was a very interesting passage, it made me think of the communist ideal, sharing everything, all land is everyones. But think about how it would feel to travel in a group and know that you are secure, and to be close to everyone as to be in "one heart and mind". Thats close man, and think about what that must have been like, to always have a friend, and to be on a true mission from God, to spread the news of his resurection. I wish that we could all think like the apostles did.
OH, and never ever ever see Burn After Reading. [SPOILER ALERT] Not a great movie, I mean, i was expecting a comedy, what i got was a whole look into a secret world inside a secret world, lots of affairs, OH and Brad Pitt gets shot in the face, oh, sorry to ruin it. John Malcovich shoots someone, then beats the guy in broad daylight (the beating not the shooting). Oh and George Clooney is in it. He does well, i mean its a bunch of bumbling idiots and a disc, but the idiots dont know what is going on. Anyway, yeah, Brad Pitt is in it as a personal trainer who obtains a disc with information on it, and with the help of a coworker does really stupid stuff, and they ATTEMPT to act like spies, but they are just stupid. Oh and prepare to hear the word "fuck" many many times. [END SPOILER ALERT]
So, I had to wake up super early today, I had to go to a neurofeedback appointment, it went well, oh and you have got to try a place called "Ruffels" i think is the spelling, its in providence, around Wayland Square, across from a place called "Edge". Delicious diner style breakfasts and such. I got my hair cut and deposited a check, then i went home and napped for 2 hours, good nap, not really tired right now, but anyway, I was trying to be in bed by 9 but that never happens. I am sorta disappointed, but thats my day. hopefully more will happen tommorow, OH and i almost forgot, I am going to maryland on the 7th and i will be in virginia by the 11th. Long school year this is gonna be. Write again tommorow...

Doesn't America need some communism? Socialism? That's why I didn't mind when people called Obama a socialist. lol
ReplyDeleteBurn After Reading was sooo horrible. You're right. Everyone has affairs and then they all kill each other. I was slightly disturbed afterward. But then I asked myself, "what just happened?". It seemed pointless.
Lastly, neurofeedback? That sounds super awesome. You must explain that further.
