Cathy says she's going to call me on Monday with her verses. Becky...well, Becky is in my video, but she ain't saying verses. Virginah said she thought we were on vacation from verse memorization. Latoya well, her and Eugene Peterson (The Message)are still trying to work on their New Bahamian Living Translation.

Virginiah (she's part of this memorization thing too) texted and said something to the effect of... "I know he gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless, but I'm sure you would settle for just a nap." Ain't that the truth.

My mind kept asking the question, "WHAT is why?" So I went back to read why we shouldn't worry about everyday life when we're serving God. As I read on (though I didn't memorize the rest) I was struck by verse 32 that says "These things http://cluesy.blogspot.com/2009/10/matthew-625-27.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (dpm)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18572575.post-278358378386785741Fri, 16 Oct 2009 13:34:00 +00002009-10-16T07:29:19.970-07:00 Five years ago, tomorrow.

I know that it never feels like there are enough hours in the day and in-depth Bible study often gets pushed to the side. We've gotta find ways to stay in the Word though. Hopefully this will be a start and will ignite an unquenchable thirst for more of God and His word in all of our lives.Romans 8:38, 39 (NLT)And I am convinced http://cluesy.blogspot.com/2009/10/romans-838-39.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (dpm)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18572575.post-648212145329318818Tue, 06 Oct 2009 07:08:00 +00002009-10-06T00:11:36.419-07:00book reviewA note: I am a Thomas Nelson book review blogger and got this book free, in exchange for a review posted on my blog.When I first got the book, Find Your Strongest Life, my first thought was, what’s so Christian about it and why is Thomas Nelson publishing it.

It's not something I'll soon become addicted to, that's for sure.Here's why:There's hardly any interaction on Twitter. Maybe my contact list is too small. Maybe the people who are my contacts don't respond to tweets.
