Instead of writing this time, I made a video blog (vlog) post which you can find below:
(Sorry, I couldn't get the actual video to come up, so follow the link!)
I should also like to add that due to a recent book I read called "The Static Jedi," I have been challenged to memorize more verses or chapters or whatnot so I have decided that over the next 6 months, I will memorize the book of James (about 4 verses a week.) Not only will this make me learn more of God's word, but also practice a very useful skill that we have not tapped into: memorization. Jesus was a man which means he had the same constraints we do (being hungry, forgetting where He put the keys to his house, etc.) yet He had the entire Old Testament memorized. The book of James is a merely 3.5 pages in my Bible, so that is my long term goal for the next while!
