This weekend was certainly an interesting one. It started off with going to the movies on Friday night, to go see Friday the 13th. I ended up sitting next to this man and his child who was probably around 4 or 5 years old. That really bothered me; who brings their little boy to a violent movie?? I tried to talk to the boy a little bit during the extremely violent parts as to take his attention off the movie, telling him he was braver than me and that I was scared, but that didn't matter. He just ended every scene with: "that was awesome!" Sometimes people's parenting skills really send me over the edge. But who am I to say such a thing? I don't have a child of my own. I guess all I can do is take what I learn by watching other people and create my style of my own and how I choose to raise my child.
Saturday.. was not so much fun. I spent all of Valentine's Day hanging out by the toilet, being sick, and then in bed with a fever. Everyone was out doing things and I was completely by myself for around 5/6 of the day. It was kind of depressing. But oh well! I think Valentine's Day is a complete Hallmark holiday anyway, and I don't just say that because I didn't have a date, (except for my toilet, who I named Sammy!), I say that because it's true. Granted, I have to thank Hallmark in some way, because I feel that if we didn't make up a bogus holiday to make more profits, we would take loved ones for granted so much more than we do.
This morning church was really good. I go to Rosebud.. and even though it's really far to travel, it is so worth it. Dr. Thompson preaches there, and this morning he spoke about the end of Ecclesiastes. We've been making our way through it for the last few weeks. This week he talked about how everyone should embrace their youth, for the inevitable is coming. It was semi-depressing, semi-encouraging. It definitely made me think, and I am glad I am so blessed that I can live in a country where I am free from persecution and can go to a church body and hear lessons such as these.
All in all, the weekend wasn't completely awful. Now it's time to play catch-up and do all my homework before going to Downtown tonight for some purely inspirational singing.
