Well, I was reading the first chapter of Colossians (Colossians 1) and I was surprised by how much it covered. It is a pretty extensive start for one of Paul's letters. One of my favorite parts is verse 9-10, where Paul gives a great example of something we should ask God for - an understanding of what he wants to do in your life, and spiritual wisdom.
Yesterday (Tuesday) some friends from CA visited my family. I am lucky that I work at an informal place were I was able to take the day off. I haven't seen them for over two years and it would have been a bummer if I got stuck at work...
