Italy

Yes, of all places, I would really love to visit Italy. I remember watching a travel channel featuring Italy in 5th grade. I was super excited and felt a strong need to take notes using a napkin at arm's reach.

Anyway, I get the day off (worked four 10s this wk!) and thought I'd indulge myself in dreamin' a bit :D

Florence





Sicily








Venice

Prayerful Life

This is what is meant by a prayerful life. It is not a life in which we say many prayers, but a life in which nothing, absolutely nothing, is done, said, or understood independently of him who is the origin and purpose of our existence.

Grace: Is this Katy Perry?
me: No, it's Brittany Spears
Grace: Oh... thanks for putting up with my ignorance...
Julie: It's okay. Ignorance is bliss.

Dad,

I get points marked off from presentations because I'm "too humorous"

=(

Mom,

I get points marked off in the clinic because I "smile too much"

=(

I think your genes are causing me to get bad grades in school.........

Cecilia,

It’s OK, as long as you can pass the courses!

On humor and smiling, you need to learn “where” “when” and “how”.  It is a good experience to pay attention to this, congratulations!  I am quite serious when I am discussing academic issues….  It is an advanced skill if you can using “sense of humor” and “seriousness” interactively with appropriateness.

Anyway, you have good genes!

God Bless!

Dad
