Day 2 with Food Poisoning

Here’s what I ate/drank and my thoughts from today:

Water - winner!

Ginger Ale - tasty winner!

Beef Barley Soup - Mmmm I’m healing faster than I thought

Chicken/RIce - I think I’m healed

Chips/Salsa - recoil…

Dirty Laundry

I decided to do a lot of laundry today and I realized that there are some pieces of clothing that have been in my hamper for a really long time. How long you say? Let’s just say that my hand started to itch just by picking up some shirts. *shrug*

It took a while, but it’s all clean now. =)

Time to watch the new Jay Leno show. So far the intro was really lame. Let’s see how the rest goes.

analysis and analysts

I actually had a good time at a lil social gathering for fellow analysts today. I met a guy named Emad and afterwards we got into a deep talk about the differences of Christianity and Islam. As I was listening to him, everything makes sense. (e.g. If I were a just God, I would count each of my sins against me, every single one will be accounted for.)

But what my friend was saying just sounds like man’s rationale/logic:

“If I were God I would do it like so because that makes sense.”

But does Jesus really make sense? Why would God send his own son to die for the sins of prostitutes and rapists? How come believing in Jesus is the key to salvation? Doesn’t it make more sense that you earn your way to heaven? God is generous with mercy and grace, but can God really be THAT generous?

Why does God have to make sense? God’s ways are higher than my own. His foolishness is wiser than me in my wisest moment.

The cross is truly a mystery, but God has made his ways known to us, his children. To us was revealed the greatest secret of the world: Jesus Christ, God’s son, gave his life for sinners so we could be FREE.
