Fall break has been great and I really hate to see it end. It's been nice taking a breather from all our normal chaos. High points of this week:
-Got to sleep in a little, that's always a plus!
-Went shopping & got some more winter stuff.
-It was Drew & I's six months... got to hang out a lot and went to The Factory.
-I had absolutely zero homework, which i don't think has ever happened before on a break.
-Got to spend a little more time with my family. That was nice, because with us all having different hectic schedules, getting time to just chill with each other is becoming a novelty.
My mind is starting to down because I'm getting tired... but I'm pretty sure that's the majority of my week. My parents have gone camping today & tomorrow. So I've just been hanging out with Maci catching up with her. That's about all for now. Love you all!

The fiend.
I've been doing a pretty bad job keeping up with my blog lately, I know. Nothing really exciting has been going on. But I'll try to do better!
In english, we are reading an interesting story talking about how sly and tempting the devil is to us as a human race. Not just the 'bad' people, but even our spiritual role models & mentors, parents, friends, etc. It's reminding us that we're not alone when facing the devil. But it's also explaining that he is worthless when he's alone, explaining why he tries so incredibly hard to work through each of us. One line in the story says, "The fiend in his own shape is less hideous than when he rages in the breast of man." This particular line struck me. It's explaining how the devil, when working through the life of one of us, is much more terrible and effective than just he himself. As Christians, we must be stronger. This world continues to make it easier and easier to conform to its low, selfish ways and values. But we can't be temped, we're better than that!
Love you all. Peace.
