Today in my bible study, we talked about St Peter. We were reading the last parts of John, and some parts of Acts. I would give you the actual verses, but A) I don't want to get up and find them, and B) this current train of thought isn't verse-oriented.

Anyway, I really do love St Peter. I mean, the guy screwed up time and time again. He was saying the wrong thing, and denying Jesus, and generally making the wrong decisions. Except the one right decision he made, which is all that mattered in the end. He believed. He followed the teachings of Christ, as best as he could. He was human, so he had some missteps, some backttracking. But he always found his way back to Christ. He showed the world what following in Christ's footsteps could look like, and what it really meant.

He really was the Rock our church was built on.

Other than that, today was a day of slowly cleaning. This evening, I really started to dig in to a book called "The Hippocratic Myth". It's all about the political and economic pressures American physicians face. So far (chapter 4) so good. It really does have me questioning what I feel is right, and what I expect doctors to do. Like I said, I am in chapter 4, so my view could radically change by the end!
