I like CPCC. I like the adventure of it, I like learning new things, I like seeing lots of different kinds of people. But I realized that when I am there, I am never relaxed. I can't relax when there are so many things happening around me and so many people. It makes me grateful for home.

And I think one of the reasons I can't relax is because I am aware of how hopeless most of the people there are. Without Jesus they are lost. Mr. Malament said on Sunday that we should look into people's eyes and see their hopelessness and feel compassion for them. Well, I started thinking about that while I was walking across campus to my ballet class, and I knew that he was right. I didn't even have to look in their eyes; I simply realized that I have rarely seen a person there whose eyes are truly joyful. It makes me thankful for the hope that I have, and it makes me want to tell them the good news.
