What's on your mind?

[CodyFaith]

You know, it's interesting.

The longer I walk with Christ the less focused on Heaven I get. But I don't believe that's a good thing. After coming to the knowledge that yes, I would one day be in Heaven with God and fellow saints forever, it was basically one of the main things on my mind, and I was edified greatly. But as time goes on I'm seeming to forget my roots partially, and instead filling my mind with worries and cares of this life. Not fully of course, but a very large portion size full. Even though the path I am on is Christ focused, and even the worries themselves not without a sense of God, the reality is that I've allowed partially the world's cares get into my mind and rob me of some of my joy. In some ways I've treated salvation as a "Ok, I have that, now it's time to help others" when in reality God wants his children to soak in their salvation daily. It was not a light thing to be saved, it was not a "grab this ticket and go", it was God's ultimate act of grace towards beings whom did nothing to earn or deserve it through works. It was God saying "I want you in my family for all time", chosen by him and not our own choosing.

Anyway I know we all have different theologies of what salvation looks like, if one can lose it, etc. but I think everyone can relate to this a bit. We're forgiven, and that should be one of our main focuses, and focusing on the joy that lies ahead and not current sorrow.

You know, naturally aside from the home run earlier my favorite part of this game so far is seeing the Astro girls. ^-^

But they keep running back and forth across a platform over the dugout cheering on the crowd every time the camera jumps over to them and I worry a bit that one of them is going to fall and hurt herself.

I like baseball now.

At an Astros game with Mama Knight and her friends right now. It has not begun yet, though.

Then later on today i intend to travel up to The Woodlands to hang out with two of my friends from RPGMaker Magazine to start a group Let's Play on a classic but seemingly little-known NES adventure game, Star Tropics 2: Zoda's Revenge, where protagonist Mike Jones (yes, his name is Mike Jones) must travel through time to battle the alien warlord Zoda in many forms for the restoration of his alien friend Mica's entire race. .... It's actually much more awesome than it might sound.

Ugh. StarTropics is beatable, but Zoda's Revenge is beyond my abilities.

OMM: I finally thought of a new song to write! I rarely think of songs anymore, so it's been over a year since I last wrote one. It's nice to have a new idea!

So whats new with you all? I am going to have an m r i tomorrow.

Oh, really? I actually found Zoda's Revenge to be an easier game overall than the first due to the improved controls. Either way, both are great games.

Are you okay, Nicole? No serious health problems leading to this, I hope?

I hope you will be willing to share with the class once it is complete, Knightess.


In fact, I hope that is what you can name the song after it is written: "Ballad of the Knightess". ^-^

Ah. Thank you for telling me. I will pray then that whatever results from your medical visit tomorrow, that it will enable you to cure or at least alleviate any pain and complications you might be having because of the bad knee, Nicole.

 

[sunshineforJesus]

Thanks so much Sarahs Knight.

 

[SarahsKnight]

Thanks so much Sarahs Knight.

May the Lord be with you today, Nicole.

Please feel better soon, sunshineforJesus. Will be praying for you.

I don't usually share my songs publicly, but I can PM you a little bit about it if you'd like.

As is often the case, I have only thought of the chorus so far. I need to think of the rest when I write it at the latest. I'm also having a little trouble remembering the tune for the chorus...almost every time I make a new song, instrumental or not, I have to forget the tune and remember it again at least once before I remember it for good. But once in a while I'll remember it right away or forget it and never remember it again (which is sad).

Hey that's a nice idea, I should write a "Ballad of the Knightess" sometime.

I'm back home from my weekend away, which was awesome. Incredible weather, great company (even if I knew none of them beforehand), and some stunning scenery - maybe I'll post some pictures a bit later.

 

[Saucy]

[sunshineforJesus]

Please feel better soon, sunshineforJesus. Will be praying for you.

Thanks so much.Results should be in within a couple days.

Prayer for you sunshine!

WOMM: I caved and had a cup of coffee today, however on the bright side I have been without any other forms of caffeine for the last three days so that is at least a step in the right direction.

So there's a cologne I've been intrigued by from reviews but couldn't find a local store that had a sample because they end up 'walking out the door' because they're a) so nice and b) so expensive.

Well I bought it, tried it and love it.

Such a lovely fragrance and perfect for work.

Spend the money while you're young. Those who are frugal and 'save' are ultimately saving for their own funeral.

It's better to be skint when you're old. Let the NHS look after you - you've been paying into the system for long enough already.

Yeah, am I like THE GUY you shouldn't take advice from or what? Lol.
