Midnight: mushroom coffee (from Malaysia, courtesy of Suzy. My favorite caffeinated drink!) $0.14
Breakfast: oatmeal with raisins and a cup of MILK! (It made the oatmeal super creamy and delicious.) $0.37
Lunch: ramen with egg, and carrot slivers $0.36
[failed attempt: sauteed dandelion greens. Picked from my adventures yesterday evening.]
Dinner: apple with 2 tbs peanut butter $0.51
Late snack: 3 wheat biscuits $0.12
Total: $1.50
The highlights of today's meals were definitely the apple and the milk. I had not had milk for more than 2 weeks, so it was such a treat! We may gag at the thought of having to drink powdered milk here in the States, but this is the way that many third world countries consume "milk" and it is a luxury to them!
After taking my very first Hopper test in Islam, my class went to hear Dr. Denison speak about the Arab Spring. It was absolutely FASCINATING. For an hour, he talked about the meta narratives of several key Middle Eastern countries and its politics, conflicts, instabilities, religious factions, and American responses in the past. Ironically, alot of what he covered during his lecture was also on the exam.
If I can challenge you today, I'd challenge you tonight to pray for Muslims that Isa (Jesus) would appear to them in dreams and visions. He loves them so much! We are commanded to love them also, instead of making oversimplified generalizations or hardening our hearts towards them.
