"Rescue me from hanging on to this life"

Hey Friends. Foes. and Fallible peeps!

It's a beautiful day today. It's 8:56 AM. And it's beautiful.

For me, the mornings can be so hard to embrace. Recently, I believe its due to the fact that I get cold in the morning (or it just gets colder outside) and then its hard to get outta bed because I'm so attached to the covers that I can't really move. Frozen.

Sometimes I wear my shirt (and sometimes even jackets!) that I'm going to wear the next day, to bed, so then I don't have to put anything on for the upcoming day. That seems to work sometimes.

Coming back to the point (the "Cold" point was just another reason to show why its hard to get up in the morning).

God has created the Earth and our time system to be bright out at this time and this place. It's the welcoming committee of our first impulses of the day. The morning has the potential to be the most exciting time in the day. For some of you it might actually be, and I have such great respect and reverence for you. For those like me, you love the morning, when you get up and are awake. But I want to get up more and more, and be awake quicker and quicker. I want to realize faster that God has given me another day. Another day is so undeserving. Another breath for that matter.

I'm very for application and instruction. I think its so important that we not only teach and remind, but then give realistic ways this looks in our lives. I believe thats something Aaron and Chad have done an excellent job with. Each message reminds me of the Gospel. Each message reminds me of the power I have in the Holy Spirit, in Jesus Christ, and in the Father. With Him I can block every last arrow Satan shoots at me. But not only has God enabled us to defend, but He has bestowed upon us the most lethal weapon: the Sword. It can cut like a hot knife through butter. Or a cold knife through a diamond. You do the math.

I'm going to get McDonald's now. Breakfast, mmm. Usually I'm opposed to eating breakfast from fast food places, but oh how I adore the sausage and egg burritos. Or the new McSkillet burrito! MMMM!!!

Pasta and legos.
