Ephesians 1:3, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ." Galatians 5:22-24, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with it's passions and desires." In Christ, I am blessed with every spiritual blessing ever; stupendous. Wondrous. Awesome and mind-blowing.

I could go on a long time talking about God. The point still remains though, even in obscurity. I recently set a timer while reading through Ephesians and Romans, the results as follows. Ephesians took about 15 minutes, and Romans about 45. It was mildly unsurprising, (that doesn't make much sense) considering there seems to be some sort of hype about mass scripture reading. Or at least, I've experienced that. Hype that a chapter a day is a lot. Well, it's not. I ...

Subconsciously I know I'm an idiot, but sometimes it just becomes crystal clear.... Enjoy this story I ended up with today. I realized this works just fine for a post after updating facebook status. Yes, I'm an idiot, I know now. It was still awfully fun and I could care less... about something I don't what. Russian Circles - Schiphol Oh my word! Brainmelt. Thought I was just running to Walmart to get 20 pounds of ice for fourth of july homemade ice cream... Authors Note: For best results, following story must be accompanied by included music clip played at near ear-hurting volume preferably through headphones or some surround-sound equipped music system. On this fine sweltering summer day of July 4th, 2012, it came to a general consensus that homemade ice cream was needed in order to experience to the full extent, this holiday of our sweet nations independence. Having adjourned council after my own voluntary proposal that I would brave the heat and 20 minute excursion ...
