Getting back out today after spending a sick day, I found myself at one point pulled by a cop after following too closely. After he got all of my information, I found myself praying hard for a way out of this ticket, if it were possible for it to happen.

When the officer returned, he handed me a ticket, but he told me there would be no hike on my insurance, and no points off of my liscense, because I had been nice to him, and honest with him. I was probably the first person all day to thank him for my fine. Promptly following this, I thanked God quite a bit helping out greatly in that situation.

I talked to two friends tonight about conviction. We were talking about the kinds of things that our spiritual conviction would allow us to do, the things like smoking and drinking and whatnot. I found that other people can completely be ok with things like that, even if I'm not. I found that they can still be completely spiritual people and do things like that, to an extent.

I also find myself having to acknowledge that school is becoming less and less a part of me these days. Whether or not this is just a conscious thing or a sign that USC definitely holds nothing else for me, I don't know. I do know that either way, God has led me away from there next year anyway, and I know that He always has a pretty good idea of the situation.
