This week has been CRAZY. I feel like all I've been doing is driving, working at my internship, and trying to do my online math course. Needless to say, I'm so happy to have the weekend and Shabbas. It is much needed. I really hope Shabbas feels like Shabbas, but I don't know how this is going to turn out...we'll see.
- A Day of Kind Deeds: I've been trying to do this in a small way on my way to work in the mornings. Since my commute is so long and all on highways, I understand how frustrating it is when people won't let you switch lanes when your turn signal is clearly on. I've been trying to let in as many cars as possible if they're switching into my lane so that I can make people's days a tiny bit better.

- Treating Your Employees with Respect: N/A

Day 162: How Fear of God Can Make You a Better Person (1)
Preface: I've been thinking about this all day and I'm still grappling with today's message. Please bear with me as I talk it out.
What I know:
- We are commanded to fear God
- I do fear God, my life is in His "hands"
- We tend to do things out of fear for a person or thing
- EXAMPLE: I fear the principal of my school, therefore I try not to get in trouble.
- Because the midwives in Egypt feared God more than Pharaoh, they saved the Israelite babies.
What I learn from this:
- Fear (like that of the midwives) liberates us from doing evil
- Fear of God can be liberating
