10/20

Well, for those of you who have been faithful readers...

"A t-shirt has a straight body with sleeves at the top that make the form of the letter "t," hence the name "t-shirt." While similar types of cotton undershirts were worn prior to the t-shirt, they were all sleeveless varieties so were not really "t" shaped shirts, or t-shirts, at all. The United States Navy began having t-shirts made for sailors in 1913 because they wanted something underneath the sailors' jumpers that would cover chest hair."

I feel so very enriched by that knowledge.

Today I went with Steph and Annelie to get pizza at La Taverna (where I went with my roommates), but it was closed. So we just went to a cafe and hung out for awhile and talked. Somehow, time goes faster here. So this little activity took up the majority of my afternoon and I have nothing else to comment on :D

Isaiah 61:1-4

The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
    because the Lord has anointed me
    to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
    to proclaim freedom for the captives
    and release from darkness for the prisoners,
2 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
    and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
3     and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
    instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
    instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
    instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
    a planting of the Lord
    for the display of his splendor.
4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins
    and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
    that have been devastated for generations.
