The Greatest Love of All

"And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This He set aside, nailing it to the cross."
-Colossians 2:13-14

"He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you have been healed."
-1 Peter 2:24


Happy Valentine's Day, my dear ones. :)

Morning Activities in the Life of an Elena

-- Wake up to the harsh sound of my alarm at 7, sit up in bed for several minutes before finally convincing myself I need to finish my paper
-- Drag myself out of my warm bed, slide my feet along the cold floor and up the dark stairs
-- Grind magical coffee beans that make this all possible to function and think clearly, eat my own creation of Lemon Blueberry Crunch (lemon yogurt, blueberries and Bran Flakes-- just a single cup is all you need)
-- Sit down to muster out the last words of my paper, trying to sound like I know what I'm talking about, and that I care at least a little bit about my exciting topic
-- Finish paper, Install Microsoft Word for Macs on the upstairs computer so I can print at home now, print paper, staple, put away.
-- Layer up, Peru hat, Fleece sweatshirt, scarf and coat
-- Make a fast lunch to eat for later, run out the door to scrape off my windshield and get the car warmed up
-- Hurry and drive too fast, sliding around on the road a bit before deciding to take my time that I might not hit something, parking lot stalking, find perfect spot on campus, park car
-- Nod my way through English Lit, zoning in and out
-- Walk to the LLC for Kansas History, snowflakes hitting my face hard, being blown by the wind and sliding around in my boots along the wet sidewalk
-- Get to class, hear the announcement from a random woman that class is canceled but to hand in papers, feel delight soar within me, hand in paper
-- Walk to library, finish up paper for Early Modern Art

And it is only 11:26 a.m. now!

late night haiku

the world sleeps as I
tarry my slumber away
writing untold tales.
