Sick

Well on thursday I started not feeling well. There has been a cold going around. Numerous people offered me medicine but I quickly turned them down. I said, "I ahve a strong immune system. I never get sick". Well i was wrong. Then on friend others suggested I take medicine again and I denied saying I will tough it out. Well by friday night I really wasn't feeling well. I spent the second half of the day in bed. I finally took some medicine that night. I spent most of saturday and sunday curled up in bed. I'm slowly recovering now. Still don't feel great. It has been mid 40's and very cloudy. Very depressing weather up here. I wish I was in Tucson now. I could really soak up some warm sun.
Classes are going well. It is interesting going through scripture. For instance there is 2 stories of creations Genesis 1 and Genesis 2. How did I neve realize there are two stories. Then in Exodus Moses telling pharoh what 8 times to let his people go out of Egypt and Pharaoh wouldn't let them go and there was Plague, locusts, frogs falling fromt he sky, animals dying, river turning to blood etc. etc. Why does Pharoh have such a hardened Heart? Why did God give him a Hardened heart. Then how come there is no evidence in Egyptian writing with these plagues. You think this was a big deal and egypt would have written about it. From what I know we only have the Bible to go off of the story of Moses. Then when he leads them out of Egypt it took 40 years. Why did he take the most inconvient longest route way from Egypt. He could ahve taken the people on a much shorter way to Israel. Maybe he wanted to test the faith of the people. Then we read about King David and how he conquered everyone in the land of Israel. All these stories are very interesting but there all legend. I'm sorry if this upsets people. But I don't think we have any other proof than the Bible that Moses existed or King David. There stories. There legends. We had a disccusion class about King David is probably a mdae up person. This really upset some individuals in the class room. Religion is faith. There is no concrete proof, that is why its faith. I might be going off the deep end here but I have enjoyed the stories. I enjoyed reading Isaiah. There are good lessons to learn. I think thats why they are writen. Just as lessons to live by during the time of the people. I can relate some of the readings of the Bible to stuff happening in the world today. That is one itneresting thing about the Bible how it still effects us today. One good say it is a living book becasue the lessons can or will always effect us and what the world is going through.
Ancient Philosophy is going well. Were reading Plato's Phaedo. At first I thought all these Philosophers were stupid but they were actually pretty smart back then. I am starting to see how philosophy plays a huge role in religon.
Interpersonal communication we are reading about how to fight fair. I feel this entire book should be for married couples or couples who are about to get married. Of course it is good for everyone who interacts with people.Conflict is enevitable. It's ok were always going to get in a conflict with someone at some point and that is ok. Lot's of time in the arguement it seems that one person always feels more important than the other persons needs. Of course both peoples needs are important. In society we always have to win the arguement. Just watching the debate Romney and Obama ALWAYS had to ahve the last word. In a conflict why can't we both win. Can't we settle a conflict where both needs are met. Of course as far as Romney and Obama there can only be one president so I guess it can't. But I believe both sides can win in most situations. Maybe I'm just nieve.
I have also been playing catch with a baseball from a guy from Venezuela who leaves in a week which is a bummer. I'm trying to set up pick up soccer games on wednesday. The good thing is I got on an indoor soccer team that starts the end of October.
Well I just want to get healthy and I want the sun to come out. People in Tucson please enjoy the 350 days of sun we get down there.
The best part of the weekend. Watched the GodFather. The Vikings won and the Packers lost.
Sorry no pictures this week, was in bed for most of it.
