1) After putting them on the spot and refusing to fall into their scam, the "students" who were trying to sell me magazines (aka scamming) for their "scholarship" (aka shady business) called me "full of sh*t" in my face, which is ironic, given that, if anything, I should have been the one saying that to them. I concluded the conversation by yelling "God Bless!" across the courtyard, so I'd like to think I ended the conversation on a good note.
2) About an hour prior to me writing this, I got pulled over, and basically, I got my first ticket of my driving career, which, as of this moment, has been 6 years long. They called it an "unsafe lane change". No problem with getting a ticket because I did screw up, but basically I'm still going to have to pay at least $100 (money which I had intended to save for missions) and probably go to traffic school (time I could have spent sleeping or doing something else).
I guess in times like these, it would be easy to not praise God and be bitter. And frankly, I'm inclined to be that way, but in light of this past Resurrection Sunday, what's $100 dollars, a few hours in traffic school, and a passing expletive in my face compared to what He suffered? Perspective: it does a body good.
