I’m still having warm fuzzies about homework, mostly because it’s been pretty easy so far and we’re crunching quite a few numbers. I like both of those things.

Here’s how our church does Communion. We always observe this beautiful ceremony on Friday evenings, but before you take part in Communion, you are expected to be “of like faith and practice” with our congregation. Then the Sunday before or directly preceding Communion itself, you are expected to give a testimony as to your standing with God and man and your desire to take Communion here. That meeting the Sunday before is called Counsel Meeting, and we had it tonight. Very encouraging, I love to hear people talk of what’s happening in their lives.

There’s a line in Rescue’s song “2000 Years Ago” that grabs me every time I hear it. It’s a song about how Christ was thinking about each one of us as He died for us. I don’t tend to think that I would have been a part of the mob that called for Jesus’ death, no, surely I would have recognized His divinity (it was so obvious, right? how could anyone miss it?). But then I look at how many times I have slapped God in the face and this line tears at me: “…but I know from my own life, I’d be in the crowd.”

2000 years ago, they put his cross in the ground.
2000 years ago, His blood flowed down.
And though my foolish heart finds it hard to believe
2000 years ago, He was thinking of me.

The word “zephyrs” refers to gentle breezes. This fact is for your general enlightenment, but specifically for thou who wilt lift on high his voice in a hymn which containest that word therein. It would also be great in scrabble.
