| How can I save the world?

| It was a pretty normal day.
Woke up, went to school, etc, etc, etc
I guess the highlight would be hanging out in between classes with
my friends and billiards with my bible study group.
I have some awesome friends.
I just realized how awesome my camera was today.
On another note, over the past few days I've been thinking about love. More speciffically, G-d's love.
What does it mean to show G-d's love? Is it the forgiveness we give to others? The mercy and
affection we show to a stranger? Showing empathy to those who we might not think deserve it?
I think it is.
G-d forgave us when we didn't ask for it and he still forgives us for the sins we commit
against him. So why not show the same to others. Why not approach them with love,
kindness, and mercy? For the world has no shortage of those who need it.
I need to learn how to rid myself of the feelings and hesitations that prevent me from doing this.
To overcome my nature and show genuine humility and love to others.

| Don't you hate it when you spend a good chunk of your day for nothing?
Yeah, me too.
Today I went to the DMV to get a temporary license (just a simple paper one, so that I can drive legally).
Anyways, I filled out the necessary forms for temporary and the lady
tells me it's 22 dollars. This wouldn't be much of a problem except for the fact that
I don't have my debit card either.
So my trip ended up being a waste of an hour.
Oh well, such is life.
Other than that, not much happened.
I ran two miles, lounged in the hot tub, went to worship practice, and pita pit.
Just a few more days until winter quarter is over.
I'm hoping that next quarter won't suck since the last two have been very disappointing.

| So this morning I had to get up early to help some lady to work today.
A few weeks ago she suffered from a broken back and can't drive until it fully
heals. I got an email yesterday pertaining to this and I volunteered.
Before you go thinking I'm some great saint, I must remind you that I am getting paid to
do this.
Anyways, It was a pretty stressful situation due to the fact that I couldn't find my wallet (it is still
currently M.I.A). Because of this, I couldn't purchase gas or get pulled over.
This itself is enough cause for stress, unfortunately this wasnt the only poor matter of circumstance.
From the start my car had about an eighth of a tank left (the gas light was on before I left my house).
I wasn't worried until on the way back my gas was so low that the gas light actually went off.
It was a blessing that I made it back home.
After that I took a nap and suffered another affliction of sleep paralysis (this was the first time it
happened when I was on my stomach).
I went to school groggy and managed to not fall asleep in two of my class (economics wasn't so lucky).
Tonight I was able to share a cake with some of my friends (it was one I that I was able to take home
after working in the homeless shelter). I figured that I should treat my friends to something.
Honestly, I believe it's a blessing to be able to give to others.
It's a chance to show G-d's love to others and give them comfort in those actions of love.
Love is the greatest gift you can give someone.
