My soul finds rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
-Psalm 62:1-2
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
-Psalm 91:1-2
The Lord protects the simplehearted;
when I was in great need, he saved me.
Be at rest once more, O my soul,
for the Lord has been good to you.
-Psalm 116: 6-7
These are some nice psalms about finding rest in the Lord; it's crunch time right before the break and I think things are stressful for most. But, the good news is that we don't have to wait until Spring Break for rest! I thank God that we can rest our minds and hearts in Him and don't ever have to wait for a break from classes. Hey! With that kind of rest do we even need Spring Break? Actually yes, yes we do. Hang in there guys!

Joined together with other Christians on campus, we will go deeper in the Lord, learning the power of intercession and realizing new ways to pray. If you're interested in helping by being a YSC representative and leading us in this movement, email sangandcharmain@aya.yale.edu.

There's no trivia question this week because I figured out that I'm too lazy to come up with prizes; I had an inkling that that would be the case.
But, I would like to share something that has me slightly unsettled. WARNING: if you are a lover of chocolate and do not want that deep affection besmirched, perhaps you should not read further. But I know you will anyway.
So, I don't really eat much candy and as a result have a stockpile of candy from as far back as, I don't know, maybe last Easter. When I go home I usually just toss a couple handfuls of my hoard into my suitcase to eat while at school. Little did I know... chocolate must go bad after a while. I guess I should have realized that, but I definitely know now. I had a fun-size hershey bar recently and, instead of eating the thing whole as I usually do, I decided to take a nibble to really savour it, since it was nearly my last piece of chocolate. And what do I find in the middle of the chocolate but small white wriggling worms. Having already swallowed the bite and further dismayed at how many of these chocolate bars I've eaten over the course of the semester, needless to say I was a bit concerned. However, after some research, to my great relief I discovered that I'm not going to die. Apparently I'll just digest them along with everything else. So I think I'm okay with it now; it's just protein I guess. So here's the real question, after learning that the worms weren't harmful, did I finish the candy bar?
Have a great week and a great break!
