Sightseeing & Observing

The things we get to do in and for this class are priceless and brings me much joy.  A couple of weeks ago we went on a "field trip" to the restaurant, then we went to the cemetery, and after that we got to read an incredible book in the Bible called Joel and we got to paint.  Amazing.  Now, we had an assignment to people watch and for me that was enjoyable.  I have always loved to sit on a park bench and watch the different people pass me by. Some walking, some running, some skateboarding and biking.    I cannot really say that I know what their personality is or their likes or dis-likes but I saw what they wore, how they walked, and facial expressions.  It was an interesting time to watch those who did not know they were being watched.
     Furthermore, "This Blessed House,"  was a really good story.  I definitely liked how Twinkle asked her husband questions about being "born again" and about religion in general.  Twinkle seems to be aware and open to other religions but her husband seems annoyed and aggravated by her putting all of the trinkets on the fire place mantel.  Throughout the story she is "content yet curious."  She is trying to find the next treasure, always searching.  Moreover, all together I loved how he was learning her.  His own wife, he was finding out all of these pet-peeves and quirky things about her wondering why she is like that because they didn't have very long together before they got married.  Started to make me think or marriages that I know and or mine that I will be in one day.  It showed me how not to be and how God is and has to be the center of my life to have a solid foundation of a marriage.
