Calm after the storm. I had turned in another draft at 4:00am, so I crashed and woke up at 11:30am.

"That is why the real problem of the Christian life come where people do not usually look for it. It comes the very moment you wake up each morning. All your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists simply in shoving them back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other, stronger, quieter life come flowing in. And so on, all day. Standing back from all your natural fussings and frettings; coming in out of the wind." -- C.S. Lewis

Today was a "coming in out of the wind" kind of a day.

Sunny. Not too cold, kinda crisp air. Didn't need to think about draft. Turkey and egg sandwich for brunch. Fill-in-the-blanks homework (who has heard of that for law school!?!?) Shower. Crate & Barrel to return an orange tablecloth (it doesn't match my place.) Still sunny outside. Barnes & Noble - too crowded, but found a seat. Cafe au lait. Gary Chapman's The Five Love Languages - good read. Church. Chatted with couple who's expecting their first child, a girl. Great worship songs. Great sermon on 1 Tim. 1:1-11. Funny funny pastor. Laughed a lot, tearing a little. Encouraged. Grateful for Jesus. Safeway for ground beef. Cooked and ate spaghetti. Yum. ALIAS at Davis & Michelle's. Outrageous episode - will the insanity never stop? Stayed to hang out. Didn't feel rushed as usual.

Back at the computer now. Some more brainless (yay) homework and perhaps devotions and some C.S. Lewis.

Ah. *Sigh.* (A contented one.) All days should be like today's day.
