It has been a long time since I was on here. Blogging is hard, and I still don't know how I feel about doing it. Tomorrow school starts again, and I am excited for the new school year. I am planning to write an opera with my students. Also, I am hoping to stick to a schedule for eating and exercise. And, I went to Europe! I saw the Passion Play in Germany, which was amazing! It gave me a different perspective on how some of the world views Christianity.
I am a Christian, a Latter-day Saint to be specific, and I have always known about Christ as the Savior of the world. However, I've always been more drawn to His teachings and the Atonement more than the crucifixion. But, in the Passion Play, a lot of the focus was on how He died, and not so much about how He lived and was resurrected. I suppose that how He died is significant; He suffered so much on the cross which was part of the Atonement. The pain and the agony He lived through was incredible. But I still feel that what he taught is a more important epi-center of my focus for learning to be like Him. I am so grateful to know the things that I do, and I hope that I can live my life the way He would have me do, so that others will want to come to know Him because they see how I live.
