Today I received the first clay assignment. I’m excite and sad at the same time. This may be my last clay class. I found out I like working clay the second semester of my junior year. It’s amazing how things come late.

For example its like sitting on a bench outside at a park and everything is lovely. There is a beautiful breeze, lovely scenery, and perfect relaxation. Then you look at your clock and it’s time to go back to work. Yet as soon as you stand and start heading to the car you see a flower. This flower is a beautiful precious thing that needs closer examination but there is no time. Back to work.
“I’ll return that place you tell yourself,� but the next day you are transferred to another post. Frustrating isn’t it? Yet there will always be the memory of something beautiful living in a park way over there. That’s life.

This glimpse of beauty while walking along is what makes life wonderful if you don’t become bitter. What is our idea of sweet anyway? Is it truly an every day indulgence? If so of course one would become fat or worse disinterested in sweetness.

Life is about change I’ve come to see. Life is bitter and life is sweet. The bitter makes me appreciate the sweet all the more. Although things change God is faithful and doesn’t. He will deliver whatever he promises to his children. But when that promise does come un-expectantly. This time it will not be on your lunch break but right in your own backyard.

So embrace this time of bitter and the sweet. When times are bitter remember the sweet so that life can return. It helps because even winter comes in people’s own backyards. During that time you will be prepare to sit on your back porch and remember sweet. Knowing that spring is on its way. The trying of your faith works patience.

Oh yeah…my topic, containment is  “an act or policy of restricting the territorial growth or ideological influence of another, esp. a hostile nation.�
 
After today I think I’ll add a spin to the project, it’ll be call
 
“Breaking containment with apologies�
