That Was A Total Flop

This week I went to Drew's classes and personally invited all 85 students to an Open House at our apartment. I bribed them with Titus and cookies.

Friday 5 - 7:30pm
Saturday 3:30 - 5pm

Two people showed up; one wasn't even in Drew's classes.

Now we have a lot of extra oatmeal cookies and Coke.

sorry about the open house thing... it's disappointing when that happens. I'm really glad that you're going to get to teach, though!!! :)

I am so sorry, Rachel! If I had been there, I would have come to show support. :)

Look at it this way: You'll have plenty of cookies for next time.

Hi friend! We like to hear back from you. -- Rachel & Drew.

Neighbors 邻居

“It may be possible for each to think too much of his own potential glory hereafter; it is hardly possible for him to think too often or too deeply about that of his neighbor. The load, or weight, or burden of my neighbor's glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. ...

"There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations -- these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit. ...your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses.”

- C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory
