Let the record show that on the evening of September 1, 2011 I realized one of my prayers had been answered and one of my problems solved. I’m only making a big deal about this because due to some short sight I rarely ever see and/or notice the things I pray for come to fruition quickly.
It has been a good day filled with appropriate amounts of quiet and noise, though separately the quiet seems to still and the loudness seems obnoxious—I think I’m just being grumpy. I got to spend a good amount of time tonight with my sisters and my boys, both of whom I love very much. They make my heart smile. Classes are going great other than the overwhelming realization that a good portion of your exams and finals and papers are due around boys’ bid day and sigma retreat. My Art & Culture class is especially interesting because it seems very anthropological which is terribly interesting and captivating. However, the professor sharply dismisses any and every thought of the existence of an actual deity, which is of course absolutely fine though it makes me wonder why he is so sure of his knowledge that none exists. Addressing the doubt of knowledge in general, I can’t help but wonder if the theories we have about ancient civilizations and the modern interpretations of the artifacts the left behind are anywhere near the truth. Yes, I’m sure we can make reasonable hypotheses although there will never be a way to determine if we are right or not, unless you find out after you die. This may sound weird coming from me with my faith and all, but you can believe something wholeheartedly and still be wrong. That applies to the faithful as well as those who look at a ancient mini-statue and decide what it was used for and why it was important.
