I don't really know what to post on today.

Church again today. I aaaalmost didn't go. I wasn't feeling very enthusiastic about it, but I decided to go anyways. I kind of thought, if I get there and don't feel up to being there, I can leave. So I went. I didn't leave, and I really got a lot out of the message :)

The practical applications of the book of Jeremiah are so much more than I expected. Pastor Phillip spoke today on God's call to His chosen people. They were living in sin and had walked away from Him, but He was gracious enough to extend one last chance, Jeremiah, to them.

'This is what the Lord says: Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls.'

God gave them a final ultimatum, and His people ignored it. So, He told them, 'I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their schemes, because they have not listened to my words and have rejected my law.' He gave them a chance to repent and redeem themselves, but when they refused, He had reached His limit. God sent the king of Babylon, a nation of other gods, to destroy Israel. They were God's chosen people, the ones He set apart in covenant. But He still tore them down when He was ignored. God doesn't take well to being ignored ... He'll allow things into your life to break you, just to bring you back to Him.

Alright, enough preaching now. I'm off to have some lunch now, and then after that I'm not sure. I believe the evening holds a few hours of Sandra time, which I'm going to say, I'm pretty pumped about. And tomorrow, Burtonstock '11 with Ariele (http://nerdwords-r-us.blogspot.com/ ), which. Seriously. An entire day of Tim Burton movies? You know you're jealous. Plus we're making breakfast ... don't worry, I'll have the fire department on speed dial >.<

Thanks again for sticking with me, readers. It's much appreciated. I enjoy your comments and responses to things I've talked about. Don't feel too shy about contacting me, I love feedback on my writing, both positive and negative.

SO. For now, I'm out. MY prayer for today is that God will be gracious to you this week ... what's yours?
