Ecclesiastes 3:3 “A time to kill and a time to die. A time to tear down & a time to build up”

I just spent a whole hour trying to look for the enormous-for a domestic, American spider, size is not exaggerated- spider. At first I didn’t think too much about killing it, until I thought about it biting me-thanks Thadon. (LOL) I actually came close to killing it, but didn’t succeed. So there it is, I’m assuming somewhere under my bed. Could be waiting for me to go to sleep so it can have it’s revenge on my Raid-crazy-kill-the-spider-trip. Or it could be waiting for me to stop moving around so much so it can find a way to get outta there since I’m not a very welcoming human to ginormous domesticated American spiders. But who knows. Well, thank you spider for making me look at how I treat insects in my room. Thank you for making me realize that when I see bugs in my room the first things I think of are the downside of bugs.

Today a few church members and I ran through the skit we’re going to be performing for our Christmas celebration. Fun, interesting. Was the first youth there, Manong Soy-church pianist-was there already having his fun on the piano. I had one of my favorite hymns stuck in my head “When We All Get to Heaven” from the movie we watched in US History (Mississippi Burning). I cried when I watched that scene. I wasn’t bawling, but the tears came. Interesting, that movie is. Thank you Mrs. Fontanilla for leaving your job as a lawyer to come teach high schoolers about US History, Gov’t, Econ & all the other things you teach us. I feel that your history as a lawyer helped you help us to think, deeper, in a less emotional & more logical way.

Thanks cast and crew of Mississippi Burning, great acting skills, great roles, great plot, great movie. Haven’t even seen the whole thing but I’m ready to netflix it & watch it again. Same with the Great Debators & even that documentary that Mrs. Fontanilla showed about Civil Rights.

Thank you God, for keeping everyone safe during the lock down. Some of us were outside when the announcement for the initiation of the lock down first came on. Praise God, it wasn’t our time to die. ;)
