Im honestly not sure of what to write about, so I guess I will share a bit of our Senior Trip. First of all, I will say that It was delightful and horrible all at once, or atleast my legs thought so (yeah they think). We walked a million miles, from the hotel, to Filenes Basement, To Copley, To Newbury etc. all so we could look at things that we couldn't afford, Im sure we looked like a group of teenage Mainahs (if that's how you spell it). Anywho I bought a neat Pair of Armani sunglasses, that my boyfriend absolutely despises (who cares, I love them), Brianna found a poop-stain on the train window and proceeded to make a song of it, Katie ordered cheesecake at Mike's Pastry (which is said by Bri, to be run by the Italian Mafia, wink wink) and never got it (sad, I know), I found out that they kill goats in the big city (go figure, from Chanel to Goat slaughtering all in one city), We encountered a Hobo yielding a sign that read: "All I want is a Hooker and a case of beer" (okay, like I'd give that guy my pennys), at dinner we encountered a tipsy fellow in a suit who complimented Britnees nachos and said they were simply "Cute!", (if he wanted one, he could have asked im sure she would have shared) hah, I ended up drinking a six dollar bottle of water (Evian? Poland spring would have quenched my thirst).... Neat! :)

Number Un;

Penance in prayer, stresses the need to give your sin to God, as opposed to holding onto it, which can hinder our spiritual relationship. Penance allows for forgiveness and is essential to anyone's spiritual being.

In Augustine's theology, how does sin relate to Adam?

 - In the book it says, "We were made after the image of God", but we disfigured it by sinful transgression. The disfiguration being spoken about all began in the garden. Sin does relate to Adam in a sense that I believe it was with him, the "falling of man" began.... "Alll have fallen short ofthe glory of God." The falling being the catalyst to our progressing sinful nature, in each individual, community, state, country... the world. It's like each of us have been tattooed with sin, and there is no laser procedure with which to remove the ugly stain.
