I'm bringing Xanga back - drop a comment if you're with me!

And once again, I have things to update about, but I'm too lazy, so I'm stealing my brother's update.

Some quality 9 hour game of poker went on last night... after getting snowcones that is. You should have been there, you missed out.


^ We played on the pool table with Care Bear cards that I got for Christmas as a joke.


^ Eric had the best hand of the night... straight flush 2-6. Notice "Cheer Bear" on the 6... nothing beats care bear playing cards.


^ Afterwards we walked around the block for a mile and a half... completely sleepless (and shirtless, and white... and Eric's powerwalking)


^ AAHSKHDHE!

That's all I have... no sleep... ewwww



Yes, I really am that white. But thats ok.

So pretty much, we walked to walmart at about 7 AM after no hours of sleep, and then couldn't make it home. I believe I fell asleep for a few minutes on the sidewalk outside of Walmart, and then me and Kyle came up with an elaborate scheme of calling people, telling them to come get ice cream with us from Walmart, and then bumming a ride home. It worked.

"We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

"Nàked I came from my mother's womb, and nàked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised."
Job 1:21

Pray for me please.

  If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

    Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

    Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

    And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
