Day’s Verse:
Then He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.
So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
Mark 2:38ish

I keep hearing about this thing, “character.” As in, “Washing dishes by hand builds character.” Or “Living in centipede-infested basement apartments builds character.” I think if those things build character, it’s overrated.
Tonight we leave. I hate leaving. And this marks the end of an era in my life where my mom and dad and sister play a significant part. After this I will never spend a month at home straight. We will have some small time, but…it hurts to leave and know nothing will ever be the same – like this – again. I love my family and appreciate them more and more; now that I have really started enjoying them, I have to go be a Real Adult in the Real World. It’s not fair.
I love the terminology “the real world.” You go through 12 to 20 years of school which, somehow, are not real?
