I still limited my food to ginger soup, saltine crackers and ginger ale. I did eat a couple packs of ramen noodles, my go-to sick food. I think there's something in it that induces sleep which is what I ended up doing soon after I ate it. I did secure 2 phone interviews for the state library manager positions. I am grateful and I would looove either of them. I need to be prepared for both. The first is Tuesday at 3pm and the second is Wednesday at 3pm. I'm not sure why they're phone interviews when I live down the street but it may work in my favor since people usually assume I'm younger than I am when they meet me. I need to prepare but I'm starting Monday NOT today. Today is the end of this sick thing.

3 O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this bread to the souls of all those who partake of it; that they may eat in remembrance of the body of thy Son, and witness unto thee, O God, the Eternal Father, that they are willing to take upon them the name of thy Son, and always remember him, and keep his commandments which he hath given them, that they may always have his Spirit to be with them. Amen.

The symbolism in the sacrament is a little jarring if you think about it without the years I've been doing it as a child until now. Even with that I find it a little strange. YES I know it is truly becoming as the Savior and all that symbolism but it is a little cannibalistic if I think about it literally.The symbolism is strange. I feel bad to even go there but it is how I feel. Drinking his blood and eating hia flesh - yes how else can we make anything truly a part of us BUUUT I still feel that way. It is definitely something I need to think about more. Yes the depth of the atonement, how encompassing and real it is can't ever be fully conveyed, perhaps we need this harsh symbolism for that.
