It is a hard thing to follow the attitude of Christ after narrowly missing a Rhodes Scholarship.
The last weekend, I was at the University of Pennsylvania for the final, interview stage. There were 12 of us. They chose 2.
Losing is hard, but I did have a marvelous time. Expect a post soon.
For the meantime, I will try to live by the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:25-34
"Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
It's not easy to move on. But I must. A million other tasks lay before me.
Onward. And upward.
