This Monday was the first day back to school.  Looking back on it, I am amazed at how my family has come together.  We were all prepared and well rested and got to school on time.

My experience at school was quite interesting.  The first thing that I caught my attention was how so many people felt like they had to dress themselves provocatively to express a compelling and exceptional identity.  I wondered if this need to decorate themselves on the outside was reflective of an inability to be secure in a compelling identity on the inside.

In the afternoon my wife showed me the syllabus for her philosophy class.  I was dumbstruck over the blatant anti-Christian bias expressed by the professor.  This occupied far too much of my thoughts the rest of the day but I found a great deal of satisfaction and bonding with my wife in our discussion about it.

There was so much more to this day than I can remember and I thought of some ideas that have a profound implication for my story but I just can't remember them and I wish that I could.

Thanks be to God for this day.
