Today was comical, angering, and peaceful all at the same time. The day started off great. I got some sleep and woke up to spend some time before the Lord in my wonderfully quiet apartment. Then I got going to make some kimchi. For those of you who may not know what this tasty korean treat is, I highly recommend speedily making your way to the local asian market to purchase some (you can also find it in some major grocery stores). It is spicy fermented vegetables that are amazing with any meal of the day. Seriously, I have eaten it for breakfast before. Besides tasting good, it is so good for you too.

After I finished the kimchi I began to cook our meal for dinner to take into the HOP with me. As I was speedily chopping an onion (because I was running low on time for getting to the HOP for my set by 3:30) I also chopped my finger. Thank God I didn't chop it off, but only a semi-minor slice. I bled profusely while trying to finish sauteeing some veggie, pack my stuff to go to the HOP, and then get it all in the car. I raced to the HOP to get there in time for a few minutes of briefing. Upon parking my car and going to get my stuff out of the backseat, I realize that the food I'd just prepared spilled out of its container, and the sauce went everywhere. I was so mad. Then I walk inside and find out that my set was cancelled anyway, and all that rushing, including my near-mortal wound were all in vain. I was further angered.

A few moments later I calmed down and realized that the Lord knew it would happen and it wasn't the end of the world. In addition, I now had more time to contemplate His goodness.

Just a few minutes ago a good friend who's been away at school came in. I haven't seen him in a few weeks, so it was a wonderful surprise, adding another element to my rather schizophrenic day.
