To Be Least
"For he who is least among you all--he is the greatest." (Luke 9:48)Tuesday, December 23, 2003
Here I am typing away, reflecting back on the events happened so far today.
A few things struck out at me. All of these things can be divided into these three things:
1]Excercise
2]Caroling
3]Gluttony
Number one. For those of you that don't know [which I'm assuming is about ninety percent of you] I am a part of my High School's wrestling team. Today, although we are in Christmas break, we had of all things a practice. It began at nine o'clock and ran to eleven-thirty in the morning. Not bad you say? Thats what I predicted, however I was taken by supprise at the vigorous workout I recieved. I had to practice several moves for an hour with a tough and strong wrestler. After the hour of deep breathing and sweat I had to wrestle "live" for an whole hour. By this time I was on the verge of sickness.
However, I sincerely believe that many American's as well as people outside this country are suffering from a lack of excercise which in many cases causes obessity or just hurrible health.
Okay, that said, I will continue on to topic number two. Caroling. Def: Singing well known christmas songs at people's front door during the christmas season. Me, being the privilaged and greatly honored person I am [sarcastically] was able to experience this one on one today. Several families from our church decided to take upon this adventure. So with scarves, hates, and gloves we walked from house to house with our feet freezing and our hands shaking. Needless to say, we got to about ten houses [half of which no one was there] before deciding to retreat into the warmth and hospitality of our home where hot chocolate and cookies were eagerly awaiting. Despite all hardships experienced, it was worth it in the end just to see the smiling couples and elderly ladies enjoying this rare sight.
Finally, the last topic for the moment is gluttony. This ties right in with the previous story. So as we went inside to eat the "hot chocolate and cookies" I experienced something all to common where food is plentiful and the milk flowing. I found myself eating until I felt very sick to the stomach. However, I continued to eat and found myself to. . .
. . .continue to eat. Until I realized that I was in fact allready full and was suffering from the common disorder of gluttony. Solution is simply, to watch how much and what your eating. Problem simply solved.
So there it is all layed out for you, with some small morals and tips of the day.
About twenty-four hours now until Christmas. Thousands of kids are counting down the hours.
But I need sleep, so later world. Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite.
Later.
