At the end of my New Testament class the other day my teacher made a profound comment that really struck me: Would I die for President Hinckley or any of the apostles? Certainly. Would I die for a good person (like any of my family or friends)? Without a doubt. But would I die for an odious sinner like Charles Manson? Would I take a bullet for Adolf Hitler? The thought is repulsive, but yet that’s exactly what the Savior did. It blows my mind.

I’m thinking about majoring in English Language instead and minoring in both family history and editing (or linguistics). Still not entirely sure, but that’s what I’m leaning toward.

Discovered the website of the Royal Institute of Thailand (they’re the people who do the official Thai dictionary). Very neat, especially the PDFs they have on their site (there’s one on the principles of romanization, for example).
