Minds Work Best at Night

Yeah Right!  Well that title is a lie, even though some people out here might disagree with me, but if there is one thing I've learned out here so far it is that I'm always right and everyone is always wrong (that was sarcastic).  

For our class of Hermeneutics we had a group project/presentation that was due on the last day of class (friday).  Our group had to do our presentation on the book of 1 Peter, we talking about how all christians are going to suffer in their life just as Christ suffered.  We had come up with this great idea to do a Nooma video.  So we had written out the script, filmed all the scenes.  That might seem very simple but that took a lot of time and effort.  Thursday night we finally finished filming and we were moving on to edit.  Turns out the camera we have has a defect and is not able to transfer footage to the computer.  Seven hours, four computers, and three cameras later we came to the conclusion that this footage was not going to be edited.  

At 2 in the morning we came up with a different way for presenting the next morning and it worked out very well, but the point of this story is that we were shown first hand the power of God's will.  WE wanted to make that video, and WE wanted it to work out, but WE were very mistaken.  God intervened and said "No" you are now going to it my[God] way.
