Hello

Theoretically, one of these days, I will have a nice, insightful, pleasantly challenging post for you all to read. Heh. Theoretically would be the operative word in that sentence. My winter break is half over and I've accomplished very few of the tasks I had hoped to accomplish this break. I must get some extra studying done the next couple of weeks. I want to look into some things in the book of Acts, and finish a book on the Resurrection, at the very least.

So, this is not to be the nice, insightful, pleasantly challenging post. I just wanted to say "hello".

So.

Hello.

Goodnight, folks!

More Like Jesus

The Boring One sang this song in worship yesterday and thought she'd remind all of you to live your lives more like Him everyday!

I want to be more like Jesus,
And follow Him day by day;
I want to be true and faithful,
And every command obey.
I want to be kind and gentle
To those who are in distress;
To comfort the broken-hearted
With sweet words of tenderness.
I want to be meek and lowly,
Like Jesus, our Friend and King;
I want to be stong and earnest,
And souls to the Savior bring.
More and more like Jesus,
I would ever be;
More and more like Jesus,
My Savior who died for me.

I am especially thoughtful of the words "I want to be strong and earnest, and souls to the Savior bring." I am not good at being bold about my faith. I am praying that the Lord will help me with that, and help me to be "strong" and to take His word and His love so seriously that I will be "earnest" about bringing His message to lost people.

Serve Him faithfully in all you do this week!
