He says something like, "If God is love, and love is blind, then how can God see us kneeling before him in prayer?"

Last night I decided I didn't care if I felt bad. I was going to work out anyway. After all, I've been avoiding exerting myself for over a week thinking I was about to get sick - trying to stop it. Well, that worked.

So I did yoga, I jumped rope for 5 minutes, and then Emma and I went for a brisk walk for a half hour. I felt really good afterwards. I did some laundry and got to go to bed on clean sheets.

Today has been uneventful. I am back on meds, and that 'brightened' my day. It also gave me a headache.

As I got onto the bus for my 2 o'clock class I grabbed a book that has been lurking behind the seat of my truck. It was a $5.oo book at Intellectual Property back at the beginning of the semester when it first opened it's doors. Since 2pm I've read 192 pages. It's a book that mainly addresses the struggle of spirituality. I love books that address spirituality, as I feel I often lack it. Here is a little passage that caught my attention, from Page 83:

"Tell me," you continue in a gentler, more earnest tone. "Do you
believe that a fledgling Buddhist, someone who likes kids and does volunteer
work every Sunday evening and meditates pretty much every day - for the sake of argument we'll call meditation 'prayer' - so he prays every day- he's a
truth seeker- someone who aspires to a life filled with love and patience and
who tries to conduct himself by a moral code that's fairly Christian in
nature - will that person, despite his pursuit of those goals, be condemned to
hell solely because he doesn't believe that Christ is God?"

"Any person who truly loves will go to heaven."

"Who then goes to hell?"

"Someone who imposes hell on himself. Someone who says that he wants
to have no part of God, no part of love, no part of joy. It's all about the
disposition of the heart, Carter. God is, quite literally, love."
