3/9/14 - Day 5

My day today began with an alarm clock mix-up. Surprisingly it had nothing to do with Daylight Savings Time. I turned my clock forward an hour before I went to bed just like I should. But I made the mistake of setting my alarm for PM instead of AM. So I awoke to my phone buzzing with a text from my friend who I was supposed to meet in the lobby for church 5 minutes before. After a quick "oh crap" when I realized what time it was and what had happened, I threw on the first pair of pants and shirt I could get my hands on and ran downstairs. Then in church I may or may not have accidentally dropped the offering basket and all the money that was in it on the floor. And I just awkwardly ran into a number of people (it was busy, but still...). But after that my day improved dramatically and it ended up being a really great day.

Day 5 of Happiness

• Apple Pie a la Mode
• Yes, I have kept to my dessert restrictions, but I haven't given them up completely. Today with dinner I kind of doubled up on dessert, having both apple pie and a little ice cream (with caramel sauce on top even!). It was delicious!
• Having enough homework done that I could do fun things
• I was very productive on Friday and Saturday, so I was able to do very little homework today and actually feel ok about it. And because of this I was able to relax and do some fun things like go to LOFT (Sunday evening worship service on campus) and watch The Help with a friend. It was a good day (at least after my somewhat shaky morning).

Bible Reading: Matthew 2:1-12

This passage tells of King Herod and the wise men. The wise men have always astounded me. How did these men (astrologers, magi, whatever they were...) know when the Messiah was going to be born and know that this star would lead them to Him?
