Ah, Thursday, my self-imposed day of rest! I never know how late the small group (freshman boys) will keep me on Wednesday night, so this morning I had my alarm set for 6:15 rather than the usual 5:30.
Yesterday I cheated on my diet, but I get to blame my wife. She had bought a pizza for earlier in the day, and there was still a slice and some breadsticks left. Am I supposed to waste food? No! I've eaten other things since starting the diet, but this is the first time I used something else to replace something I planned to eat. No rice, because there's a lot of bread in those breadsticks.
I've started translating a Spanish copy of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory back to English in an attempt to improve my Spanish while satisfying my longing to read. That's proving effective, especially since I'm making a list of words I had to look up. Vocabulary list!
Today's prayer country was Indonesia. While all registered faiths are technically legal, believers still face some persecution from their neighbors, and some from the government as well. In order to bring a house of worship into an area, all the neighbors have to sign off on it, so it's very difficult to bring a non-Muslim building anywhere.
