Today, i saw people attempting a game of Quidditch on the mall. But without a Snitch, i can't imagine it's quite the same. Not to mention the lack of flying broomsticks. Nonetheless, it brought joy to my heart. That part of the heart that smiles when your stomach has a (Diet) Coke and some Peanut M&M's.
Today, i was with about fifteen other college-aged men and women (if such could be said of us), and an adult began talking about how our generation just doesn't really think enough of the future to plan or do hard things in the present. And she said, "not like it's a bad thing necessarily." But isn't it a bad thing, necessarily? Dostoevsky had the following to say of humanity: "If he is not stupid, he is monstrously ungrateful! Phenomenally ungrateful. In fact, I believe that the best definition of man is the ungrateful biped." And since we aren't even thankful for the present, then what is to prevent us from also taking the future for granted?
Today, i learned that old friends can become new friends again. And what a gift friendship is.
Today, i thought to myself, "it is interesting that we must make somewhat arbitrary rules about accounting when the business world of which accounting is the language is hardly arbitrary."
Today, God was good. And He has been good all the Todays that ever were. And He will be good for all the Todays that ever will be. And even when time wasn't ticking, He was always good, and even when time goes away again, He will always be good. His goodness doesn't depend on our idea of His goodness, because we are not good people.
But we are redeemed people. And we are holy and blameless in His sight.
Goodness, it seems, begins to take on an altogether different meaning when we think of that, no?
