Last night I learned something new about Dad. It turns out He and I are on the same page as far as throw pillows are concerned. When the remnant was being exiled to Babylon, they are told to plant crops and vinyards. He says get comfortable, you're going to be there a while. And He says work for peace in Babylon because that will be your peace.

Hello! If this were today, it would read something like this:

Buy a wireless internet router and throw pillows. Stock the pantry, you're not going anywhere anytime soon. And don't be inciting any riots, because they will just stay on your doorstep. In fact, check into helping foreign policy and doing humanitarian work. These new neighbors are all you've got.

I had a very minor bike wreck yesteday on my way to school. I turned and someone ran into my side. Fortunately my leg was high on the pedal on that side, or else it could have been a very bad thing. He hit my back tire and I skidded a little, but nothing major. I was a bit shaken by it, but I made it to class and went about the rest of my day.

The Professor bought some cool little creatures yesterday on the bridge where we buy all our home décor. They are about a foot long in total, though they are very delicate. They are made of palm leaves cut in strips and manipulated around a metal wire. One is a butterfly, one is a bird, and one is a dragon. I'll take pictures and put them up. Also, we have some of those paper and tissue 3D stars hanging in the living room now. They're nice. One is green and one is yellow.
