Happy Friday!!!

Today - I am in one of the best moods. It has been a long time since I have felt this good. So I am going to simply appreciate the day and the fact that I am here. Here's the scripture for today "For whatever things were written before were written for our learning that we through the patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope." (Romans 15:4 NKJV) God's word is your mapquest through life. Some people can't understand how that can be but it is true. Basically, you have to have the right material to study with. A good study bible that gives more than the scripture. One that gives an intro of each book, an account of the time so to speak to help you understand why it was being written. One that gives explanation of the character or author; one that gives an explanation of how you can apply what your reading to present day. You'll also need a commentary to help expand the understanding of each book, also a concordance to help you search for a specific scripture. With the right resources you'll have better understanding of what your reading and the Holy Spirit will do the rest.

Wall-E - It's still playing if you haven't checked it out. After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL-E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. I can only tell you the words of my 6 year old......"mommy Wall -E was really good, I loved it." There! Now go.

What I Found In The News

Adultery - The Crack-Cocaine Of Marriage, According to DavidSon, adultery is the crack-cocaine of the spousal relationship. "It is so addictive, deceitful, and devastating to the marriage-union few people can walk-away from these relationship-of-death. Understand, when a person is trapped in sex-sin, it dulls their memory and sensitivity, and particularly their fellowship with God."
