Robbers snatch woman's purse, then return it

Tue Oct 18, 2:30 PM ET

VALLETTA (Reuters) - Two hooded gunmen who robbed a pharmacy returned an elderly woman's purse after she told them it contained the only money she had to buy medicine, Maltese newspapers reported Tuesday.

The two men barged into a pharmacy at Marsascala, a seaside village in the south of the island, Monday and took 600 Malta liri from the till after threatening the pharmacist with their guns.

One of them grabbed the purse held by the elderly woman who was waiting to be served, then handed it back after her pleading and rushed out to a waiting motorcycle.

The stories of our time.

And yes, BIOL 303 Midterm tomorrow. Prepared? Nope. Well, actually better than I thought. So... yeah.

Today we had a bible study, up in the study rooms of the new Erving Library. All windows and such, and all I saw today were gray clouds.

Jeff brought up a point today. Jesus, when we're in times or need or other times, never told us to go do this or do that or whatever. He just told us to "Come to me..." (Matthew 11:28) When I read this passage last week, I actually asked a question. Jesus said "my burden is light..."

And my reaction to that: "WTH? It's light??" I mean, it sure didn't feel like it at this point in my life.

As for "Come to me...", part of my heart right now is just sort of resistant against that idea. I don't deserve to go, I don't want to go... etc. And the other part knows that I should, or else I'll just dip lower and lower.

One side: You suck! You can't do jack anyways, you've tried for such a long time and you still can't change a single thing with yourself. You are never going to make it into Med with that stupid brain of yours. You are a bloody failure. You are selfish, stubborn, cocky, self-righteous... etc.

Other side: You know some of that's wrong, and some of that's true. Go to God and He'll help you overcome.

My side: ...
