Home in Seattle

I finally reached Seattle this morning, thanks be to God. I actually managed to get on the first standby flight from Denver, which I was really grateul for. Wish me a good flight back to Seattle tmr!

Denver

Okay I’m stranded in Denver now because Seattle has closed down! Earliest confirmed flight I am on is at 9:30 tmr, more than 24 hours away! I’m going to be standing by flights starting 8am tmr. Amazingly though Denver has free wifi! Which is good.

Wish me luck.

Kyrie eleison.

Gearing up for Baltimore

My bags are packed I’m ready to go…

Well, I’m ready to depart! Really, sort of. Away to Baltimore! Some pictures from the last time I was there:

Me and the Washington Monument, which is right outside Peabody:

Me at the JHU Homewood Campus:

The famous Peabody Library

Can’t wait to start school! It’ll be nice to have a sense of normalcy again.

Dives and Lazarus

As it fell out upon one day,
Rich Divès made a feast,
And he invited all his friends,
And gentry of the best.

Then Lazarus laid him down and down
And down at Divès’ door:
“Some meat and drink, brother, Diverus,
Bestow upon the poor.”

“Thou’rt none of my brothers, Lazarus,
That liest begging at my door;
No meat, nor drink will I give thee,
Nor bestow upon the poor.”

Then Lazarus laid him down and down,
All under Divès’ wall:
“Some meat, some drink, brother Diverus,
For hunger starve I shall.”

“Thou’rt none of my brothers, Lazarus,
That liest begging at my gate;
No meat, no drink will I give thee,
For Jesus Christ His sake.”

Then Divès sent out his hungry dogs,
To bite him as he lay;
They hadn’t the power to bite one bite,
But licked his sores away.

Then Divès sent to his merry men,
To worry poor Lazarus away;
They’d not the power to strike one stroke,
But flung their whips away.

As it fell out upon one day,
Poor Lazarus sickened and died;
There came two angels out of heaven,
His soul therein to guide.

“Rise up! rise up! brother Lazarus,
And go along with me;
For you’ve a place prepared in heaven,
To sit on an angel’s knee.”

As it fell out upon one day,
Rich Divès sickened and died;
There came two serpents out of hell,
His soul therein to guide.

“Rise up! rise up! brother Diverus,
And come along with me;
There is a place provided in hell
For wicked men like thee.”

Then Divès looked up with his eyes
And saw poor Lazarus blest;
“Give me one drop of water, brother Lazarus,
To quench my flaming thirst.”

“O, was I now but alive again
The space of one half hour!
O, that I had my peace again
Then the devil should have no power.”
