Daily 5 - Day 310

Today's daily 5:
  1. actually made the progress I was hoping for in anatomy.  stats is a slightly different matter, but I'm so thankful that anatomy is now getting less boring, and is becoming easier to retain.  I was fascinated by some of what I studied today, and it was just a chapter on skin.  
  2. studying anatomy (even the boring bits) is reminding me of the passages that talk about God knitting us together in our mother's womb, and about being "fearfully and wonderfully made".
  3. chocolate at just the right moments
  4. there was finally some sunshine, and I even managed to sit in it for a little while and read a novel.
  5. girl talk, and things that made me laugh on a day where I felt very internally discombobulated and was struggling with some of the stuff God is doing in my life.
  6. good news from a dear friend about a forthcoming little person - can't wait to see and hug the momma to be in person next week!

My Spell-Checker Hates Me

The spell-checker built into Microsoft Word was clearly not designed by biologists. 

It's having heart attacks over my word useage as I spend hours a day sitting and typing anatomy notes.

The pages are full of words marked with that annoying jagged red underline. 

On the other hand, that annoying underline does make me double-check the spelling of the word that I've copied directly from my textbook.

But the spell checker?  It hates me just presently.

Some Good Thoughts on Church History

I'm a fan of Carolyn Arends, and I became a bigger fan when I read her most recent article for Christianity Today magazine, detailing how church history gives context to our faith.  It's no secret that I'm a history geek, and this article is worth spending a few minutes to read.
