I was ready for church on-time, but I had no transportation. Finally, at 11:00 am I gave up on church, did my daily Bible reading, and started working on the school project assignment that is due tonight.

At 2:00 pm I stopped working to fulfill a promise I had made to watch "Soul Surfer" with Laura and Audra. I thought the move was amazing. Betty would have liked it if it were not for the bikinis. I found the entire movie tasteful and uplifting. Although there was more skin than most movies, it was a movie about surfing. There were no inappropriate close-ups, and no bad language. The true story is about a tragic shark attack. There was enough blood to tell the story, but the movie was not about the shark attack. It was about faith and how God use bad events to bring about good results. I disliked the dialog about how God has a purpose in tragedy. I think God's purpose is carried out regardless of tragedy. God certainly uses tragedy to leverage positive results, but He nether needs nor causes or plans for tragic events to happen. God is good.

At 5:00 pm I realized I was loosing my "edge," and I realized I would not finish my project on time. I wrote an email to my teacher asking for more time, and I relaxed the rest of the evening.
