I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
Praise be to you, O LORD; teach me your decrees.
I've been completely engrossed in the Sword of Truth series. I'm currently on book three and even brought it to campus today to read in every spare moment I didn't spend either in class or in class related needs. This series has been my favorite since 10th grade. I have reread it approximately four times and continue to do so right now.
God has given humans so many gifts that I can't even list all the ones I can think of here and still have anyone continue to read it 1/3 of the way through. I'm grateful for each and every one of them. Not all of His gifts are ones that I like, or even really want some of the time. (understatement, please don't think too badly of me) All in all, the freedom of though and imagination are two of my favorite of His gifts. {Obviously song and the other senses themselves are right up there with them.} The point I was originally here to make is, Books, libraries, collected thoughts is all forms, are incredible to me. With each day that passes, I'm reminded of how blessed we humans are, and He doesn't even take away those gifts He gave when we go against Him. snorts And people say God isn't a loving creator. laughs in bittersweetness
Ecclesiastes 11:9 (New International Version)
9 Be happy, young wo man, while you are young,
and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth.
Follow the ways of your heart
and whatever your eyes see,
but know that for all these things
God will bring you to judgment.
Joel 2:13 (New International Version)
13 Rend your heart
and not your garments.
Return to the LORD your God,
for he is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and abounding in love,
and he relents from sending calamity.
Yes, the colored lights are driving me nuts. I also have a house phone on my desk...which has a red light. Because, you know, I needed more colors on my desk.
I think I'm going to have to get out my Lynyrd Skynyrd today. I think I'd like to listen to them on vinyl right now.
