"January 31, 2019"      James 4: 7 says "Submit yourselves then to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you."What does this scripture mean to you? I doubt that I have ever dealt with true demonic oppression. Usually when I am led astray it is my own evil desires that lead me astray. The devil is a created being. He can only be in one place at one time so the possibility of my ever encountering him personally is between slim and zero. He has bigger fish to fry than to mess around with me. On the other hand my flesh is evil. It is with me all the time. So when I resist my evil desires I find that they go away and become less and less evil over time. Evil will run from you if you resist it. Prompt: "Use this in formation to inspire your blog entry today: 50mph wind gusts,snow squalls,the lights flickered and .... It's you blog run with it"The weather these past few days has been bitter cold. My school even cancelled class due to inclement weather. When my school decides to cancel class you can bet that it's cold. I am glad the weather has been cold though because it will destroy some of the disease carrying insects in the area. Gnats and other insects were terrible around here last summer because we had no real cold snaps like this last winter to kill some of them off. Perhaps this year they will be thinned out some. The 50MPH wind gusts are dropping temperatures to well below zero around here and this are does not see a lot of cold temperatures. Snow squalls are rare here though they do happen. I have lived here nearly two years and have never seen more than an inch of snow at any given time. I hope it remains that way. Where I am from we often saw snow that was measured in feet instead of inches and I'm tired of snow. The lights have not flickered here and I hope they do not do so. My heat is electrical so I don't want to lose power. I have seen times when the whole city was without power for weeks. I delivered newspapers at that time and I always tried to get the newspaper to my customers because many had no other source of news. Radios and television were out unless one had a generator. It was bad. "Prompt: "The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity." Dorothy Parker What is your take on this?"I would have to agree with Parker. Curiosity cures boredom for me because it drives me to always be learning something. I do my homework pretty readily but often do it twice just to have something to do or see if I can learn something new. I am all about learning. I often sit and watch documentaries just for the knowledge I can get from them. So boredom does not have to be. If I'm bored I'm probably missing an opportunity to learn. The day I stop learning I hope I also stop breathing!    |
