It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul (though I’m having a difficult time finding out who originally said it). If that be the case, then one of the windows to my soul is blurry and reddish. It appears I have pink eye or something like it. I woke up with it this morning and it hasn’t gotten better.  Naturally, I’ve drawn some spiritual application from the experience: much like my efforts in dealing with sin, I tried to clean it up as best I could and eventually convince myself that it really isn’t that bad. But when another person sees it they can immediately identify that something is not right. And I hear it is highly contagious. I tried wearing sunglasses, thus covering it up, hiding it from the casual observer. But even if no one can see it, the problem is still there. Looks like I’ll need to find the remedy from an outside source. I sure hope these drops help…

In other happier news, I had lunch with one of my favorite teachers from college. He’s a great guy and I hadn’t seen him since my graduation. I really enjoyed the time spent talking about what was going on in our lives with someone I respect so highly. It’s people like him who give me some hope for the American education system.
