  • Wow-it has been a crazy week. I probably won't blog very much on Thursdays because I have a 7:30AM meeting every week (and I usually do this at about that time) and for some reason i didn't get to write anything on Wed either...OH I actually went jogging-that's why...

    We are finally watching Star Trek:DS9 season 6 (like it says up there) and it is good. What a finale last season! Anyway- gotta finish that first episode and see what happens! By the way-buy this kinda stuff on ebay-i saved like fifty bucks! Although- just the other day I went and won an auction for season seven and then got this email from another ebayer who was warning me against sending this seller any money because He had been scamming people. He had scammed her out of money, and a bunch of other people, to. She sent me a bunch of other evidence about him, and I looked into it. This seller was definately abnormal. THANK GOD she emailed me! I didn't send him a penny, but I did email him and tell him he might want to stop doing this and to get a life...anywho, thanks to the person who warned me-and thanks to all people that care enough about others to go out of their way to help them!

    Today was chapter 11 of PDL. I have been going slow in order to soak it all up. I don't want to read just for the sake of reading, or with the purpose of getting through the book. If I have to read a chapter three times in order to get everything out of it, or in order to put what it talks about into action, so be it.

    God wants to be your best friend. Hard to fathom. A couple of things to do to help develop that relationship (in addition to attending church and doing daily devtions--which in and of themselves won't necessarily get you to best-friend-status with God) is to
    1) Have constant conversation with God
    in your EVERY activity. Talk to Him and share ALL your life experiences with Him. Man, I need to work on this- and boy--what a difference it would make in my life!!!

    2) Meditate on His word ALL day long, every day.
    Samuel and David were friends of God and LOVED His word. Meditate is focused thinking. We all know how to do it--it's the same way of thinking as worrying (thinking about something over and over again). We need to learn and grow from that kind of meditation of scripture.

    I love this stuff. See ya!

  • Great blog...

    I had a good friend who ran a christian camp...  He always would give the best bible studies.  You know how it feels when you see somebody who you KNOW is totally sold out to Christ?  This guy was incredible.  He would tell the campers how absolutely amazing that the king of all the universe wants to be your PERSONAL friend.  Beyond me.  Crazy.

    Gonna miss reading all these things when I'm on vacation.  I'll see if I can get on while I'm on vacation.

    Later!

    2 eprops for you!

  • I've never seen Star Trek.

    o.o

  • Ooh. I gotta see ep1 of that.

  • Well, I guess I'm off on vacation. So why do I feel so glum? I'm not going to get to really have a chance to worship or study the bible (not in small group anyway) for three weeks. I'll have fun, but I really will miss the incredible fellowship and leadership I get from you guys.

    Take care, and God bless. See you in three weeks.

    Derek
