I got to sit on the floor and do homework in front of this view at Buswell today. Yesterday, I finished reading the Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I don't think I've read a book (apart from the Bible) that has captivated me so much. I had to read it for Evangelism - i'm not really sure why Root wanted us to read this book for his class but it definitely has a ton of Christian symbolism packed into it. I know Root is a fan of C.S. Lewis so he probably just threw it into the curriculum just for the heck of it. I'll read it again this summer and give it to someone I meet in Europe.
Some other thoughts:
-I can't express how much I love the Old Testament. Sure, the New Testament is just as great as the OT but I've got a soft spot in my heart for the latter.
-This is random and out of the blue but last week I got to have lunch with my Old Testament professor. We somehow got on the topic of marriage and he gave me some good advice and told me that I should visit the guy's family for a week and see how he treats his mother and the rest of his family.
On another note, I hope that the person I end up marrying loves God more than he loves me. I will point-blank tell him this. "So-and-so, promise me you'll love God more than me".
