Chapel was powerful today. Between “How He Loves” to Dr. Jeroncic’s message related to Acts 18, I was really blessed. I wish I had more to write, more profound things to say, but for now, I suppose I just wanted to say that. I may or may not elaborate later; We’ll see. I asked God for a blessing in chapel and I was most definitely given more than an abundant portion. I am...

vimb0:
you fight with life,
with every ounce of energy you have.
you come up kicking and screaming,
and yet, you still feel like the looser.

i once heard a sermon,
and the guy said something like:
“it’s me versus me,
and you’d think in that fight - i’d win.
yet i always loose. over and over again.”

worse than being super sad or depressed,

FYI: Chris Kim knows how to keep in touch and is just all-around pretty awesome. Then again, this shouldn’t be news to anyone.

Question/Answer With The Gungors
Gungor had their Live USTREAM chat. You could go on and ask them questions in the chat and they would answer the questions in a live video broadcast. I had been doing homework/studying, but the second I heard about this I had to go check it out.
They answered three of mine :) :
Michael’s favorite Bible verse is Romans 8 (the whole chapter),
He plays a Harvest guitar,

I read Psalms because David gets it...
The Plan
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances.
That’s it. That’s all. That’s enough.
