Food for Thought.

"Prayer is better than sleep." ~ the hazzan (call to worship)

That's quite the statement, especially for a constantly sleep deprived college student.  Sleeping and eating are pretty high up on my list (I dunno about the rest of you folks) so to actually see that in writing has made me reassess my priorities.

I frickin' love sleep, and if prayer is better than sleep...well.... I should frickin' love prayer even more.

I found this quote in the book Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson (my new hero) and was completely miffed when I found out that he was in Santa Barbara speaking at the Arlington, an hour after the presentation began.  I know I know, life is rough.

The thing is.. I have 11 pages left in this book and I can't bring myself to read them.  It isn't because I don't have time or that I'm bored with what I'm reading.  It's because once I finish the book, I'm done reading this amazing story.

And once you finish a book like this you can't help but feel like anything you do may turn into a life changing passionate pursuit.  He started out as a mountain climber and ended up a humanitarian, who would have thunk it right?  So I'm a little scared/excited that after reading this book something will turn into anything and and and, oh look I'm panicking now. haha

Any who, point being PLEASE read this book you will not regret it one single bit, if anything you'll feel more at ease knowing that there is a purpose in everything that you do, or that happens to you.

PLEASE READ!!!
