I'm hungry

One thing that bothers me is when people say they are no longer getting fed by their pastor.

"Oh really, you're a baby? I mean adults feed themselves, right?" I respond.
Now granted I'm arrogant and struggle with saying such a thing in love.

The point is: If we are not getting in the word everyday and having a daily quiet time then of course we will never get spiritually fed. We wouldn't have only one meal a week would we?

John 3:8 (New International Version)

⁸The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

John 3:8 is one of my favorite verses. It is crazy for me to think about how much time I have spent trying to figure out what I want to do with "my life". And every time I think about how things have gone, I think of this verse.

My ex-roomate and current close friend, Parker, and I have just started leading a high school small group. I would have never thought about such I thing. I liked high school a little but when I graduated I was ready never to see another high school aged person for the rest of my life. Boy, do I love the Spirit. The time I spent with the students and high school staff has actually been a joy. Who would have thunk it?

True Love

Being married for about a month and a half has taught me a lot.

1: It's not okay to leave the toilet seat up.
2: Peanut butter sandwiches can't just be peanut butter. There must be another ingredient between those slices of bread before it could ever be called a sandwich.
3: All children are cute. Even the goofy looking ones.
4: I'm an idiot.
5: I am to love Ashley the way God loves me. (Not easy)

In Genesis Adam is given a "helper" called Eve. I've
only heard stories, but supposedly she was a babe.











God being a God of patterns, gave Man someone to love. We learn as men how to love by the people He puts in our lives. Right now the greatest example of that in my life is my wife.



We are the Bride of God. This definitely brings new meaning now that I am married. It's hard to imagine that we as believers will nag God for not rinsing off His dishes when He puts them in the sink, but who knows. I have been thinking about this a lot actually. I have heard people call the Bible a love letter from the Almighty. Seeing His Covenants with His people and what they mean to Him puts that theory into a new light for me.

It is Wednesday. My days off are Wednesday and Thursday. (when I'm not trying to get over time at work)
Things I like to do on my day off:
...make sure to wake up at a decent time, as to not ruin my sleep schedule, consequently taking a nap later around noon and effectively ruining my sleep schedule.
...Farmville, TV, YouTube, maybe some reading
...Some sort of physical activity such as going to the gym or playing Bucce Ball.
...and if I'm lucky I eat some chocolate.
