My favorites in James

Challenging and Awesome verses I've been thinking about:

Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.

Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Hmmmm... ramblings

So, I'm at my friends house right now. I'm utterly exhausted for some reason. I have determined that getting 7 hours of sleep at night wastes my body, but getting 6 is just as good as getting 8.

Ok, my deep question of the day: Why do you do what you do? For myself, why am I going to school? Why am I visiting friends? Why am I writing in a blog? Do I wish to accomplish something? Feel something? Obtain something?

Here's what I'm thinking: Should there be a reason that we do things? Should there be an underlying mission that we are trying to achieve, a goal in life? Something interesting I thought about today (tell me what you think):Everyone has a goal in life. Everyone has a mission. Everyone has a reason to live- something that they are living for. The big one in the US is pleasure, comfort, lazyiness.

What I havent been able to shake from my head is Jesus saying that he is THE life in John 14:6 . I havent been able to get that out of my head, that he is the reason we should be doing what we do, what we should be living for. It makes sense to trust what the God of the Universe says is life, but I dont most of the time. I think comfort and fun is life.

The dog... He's cooler than I am.

Hello World

If you get that title you're as bad of a nerd as I am. Hehe. So I was trying to sign up to comment on my girlfriends blog and this is where I've ended up. A five minute expedition has turned into, well, a blog. Which cannot help me as far as time management is concerned. But what the heck. You'll listen to my rantings and ravings about life, wont you Mr. Blog? And be assured, you will get them. Well, I'll be back later with some thoughts I'm sure. As for now, back to commenting.
