On Day 118, I read a story. A good one, at that. It was about Rabbi Carlebach who, despite his busy schedule, took a later flight so that two people could receive emergency medical treatment. I don't think I even need to summarize it...I think you get the gist.
Day 119: Shabbat
Oh what a lovely day it is. I've had a severe lack of sleep this week so I'm looking forward to [hopefully] sleeping a bit more during finals week.

Day 120: God's Four Questions
I'm currently reading this section and Rabbi Telushkin told readers to stop and write down the questions we think God will ask us when we enter heaven. Disclaimer: I know I've learned these before but I don't really remember and I refuse to look ahead so these are my honest thoughts. How much time did you spend doing mitzvot? What reflections do you have on your own life? Ok, now pause while I read what the actual questions will be...
OH I KNEW IT! OOOPS. The first question is: did you conduct your business affairs honestly?
Second is: did you set aside time to study Torah?
Third: did you try to create a family?
Fourth: did you hope for the world's redemption?
I'm now just sitting here thinking of how real this seems. Like wow, these are questions I should one day be able to answer...wow.
