Human Moment #58

I was walking up the stairwell last night. These two fellas were acting a little silly, and I made eye contact with one of them. We both laghed a little at how silly they were. So I said, "What's your name?
A: Ash..ojoid
L: Ash-what?
A: Astral.
L: Astral? Woah! I love that name! I wish my name was Astral! (I really do like that name a lot.)
A: Really? Well, maybe you could be Astral II.
L: Yeah. Or I could be AstrA.
A: Yeah. Ok, Astra!
L to R: And what's your name?
R: Rashad.
L: Ah, that's cool.
R to A : Oh, she doesn't want my name...
L: Well, I already changed my name once today, give me a break!
A: Haha... See ya, Astra!
L: Bye, Astral, Rashad!

Human Moment #56

At the moment, I'm hanging out on a recliner in H-2, writing my paper. A freshman girl I don't starts walking towards me. I thought she was going to go through the stairwell or to the bathroom or something, but it turns out she was coming down the hall to pick up a book she had left at the foot of the recliner I'm sitting in. "Hello," she said.
"Hello."
"What are you doing?"
"Writing a 15-page paper."
"Woah! 50? or 15?"
"Oh, only 15... But that's still a lot."
"Yeah! That's a whole lot! Can I pray for you?"
"Hn? Sure!"
We take each others' hands. 'My name's Angela, by the way."
"Hi, I'm Lindsay."
And she prays for me.
Sincerity and concern and love.
From a girl I just met.
Christ's love displayed beautifully.
