Mercy, Justice, and Unmerited Grace

Last night some of my family members and I sat down to watch the movie, "Just Mercy."  It follows the story of a young lawyer, newly graduated from Harvard.  As an African American raised in the north, he goes to the south and meets a new kind of opposition to his work of representing prisoners on death row.  This young lawyer takes on an African American client accused of murdering a 19 year old white girl some years earlier.  Throughout his investigation he find unmistakable evidence of his client's innocence and uses the justice system as it was created to give the accused man a fair trial.  Yet, he is faced with overwhelming opposition from the white community -- police, judges, and residents alike. Despite that, this young lawyer fights the fear and racism he and his client and the African American community face.  To this day he and his team have saved over 140 people from death row. This powerful film brought tears to my eyes throughout multiple scen...

So.....I had the chance to retake the Calculus test I didn't do so hot on. Before I tell you the out come I must inform you that there is this rule that says if you retake a Calculus test the highest score you can get is 70%. Anything below 70% stays at that score, but anything above 70% goes down to a 70%. So, I'm taking the test with a nervous mindset, but I studied a little bit before hand and I was making sure to have an answer that made some kind of sense before filling in a bubble. If I do the problem and don't get an answer that was a choice (this test was all multiple choice as opposed to 1/2 multiple choice, 1/2 free response on the original test) I then work backward with all the given answers. One of the problems wasn't working out forward or backward so I chose the answer that looked the most similar to an answer I got. ANYWAY! After all this doing forward and backward then redoing and undoing I turned in the 20 question multiple choice retake of the ...

A remedy for being tossed among the billows of life

Today!  Ah ha! My car : I should take care of it, right?  And since I'm handing it off to Lydia soon it should probably be in tip top shape when she gets it.  I took it to the auto shop today just to have them check it out and see if there was anything they needed to fix.  Initially the mechanic said a diagnostic test would be $20, and then anything they find will be added to that, but they'd let me know before they did anything. "Okay! Sounds good!" and I left my baby with them. Then they call me back a bit later and tell me my clutch is having issues, but it's still drivable.  Replacing it would cost about $600.  I already knew that though, so I just said not to do anything with that.  And then they mentioned something else, but the mechanic said, "If I were you, I'd just drive the heck out of it until it breaks and then replace the broken parts or get a new car." Well, thanks for your honesty Mr. Mechanic.  How much will the services yo...
