Halloween Shmalloween... On-The-Phone-All-Night-O-Ween

So I’m sitting here at the computer… Sipping hot chocolate... being attacked by the evil-minded Huckleberry u/;’hh (he just ran across my keyboard)… Trying to get warm. Brrr! Winter is starting to show it’s blustery face, overcoming the sweet Fall in it’s chilling shadow. ffff,knm; b Okay SERIOUSLY, Huck, leave the keyboard alone! Sorry for that… *ahem* gentle interruption. So anywho. Not a lot going on this morning. I’m really not supposed to be on here, but I felt bad about not blogging (haven’t had time, been doing too much school) and figured as short as it may be, I should post SOMETHING.

So Wednesday was Halloween. I did… nothing. Well, Sara’s boss was gonna be away from her house and wanted somebody to be there for the trick-or-treaters. (By the way, NO trick-or-treaters showed up...) So Sara ended up staying at her boss’ Haunted Mansion all Halloween evening, night, and early morning. All my her lonesome… With nobody to hear her screams of terror if by chance--! Okay, I’ll stop. Hahaha… But it couldn’t have been too bad, because she had a computer w/ Internet, plasma screen TV and unlimited movie collection, and, well, me. Yep, that’s right, we were on the phone ALL night. Literally. Like from 8:30 to 10:00, and then again from about 11:10 to midnight. We were acting like idiots, I mean seriously. Singing every song from “Go Tell It On The Mountain” to “Chicks Dig It” by Chris Cagle. We even made up a song, or she did and I attended to the position of recording the lyrics on my super-duper Legal pad. As I recall it went something like, “I am Saraaaa. The wonderful Saraaaa. I like Caitliiiiin. She is a great frieeeend.” She is so incredibly talented, isn’t she?

So yeah, Daddy had fallen asleep on the couch and woke up to realize that I was in the shower at 10:30 at night. Oops? He bangs on the door and says something like, “Are you done yet?” and I said, “Almost, I just got in.” “Well it’s 10:30, okay?” In a not-so-sweet voice. *cringe* Got out of the shower, returned to the computer where I was chatting with Sara on MSN while she was on the phone with Joshua. Got chewed out again. Sara, I gotta go. So got off, jumped into bed, where the cat joined me. (Our relationship is still in a tender stage right now.) Sara texted me to let me know she was off the phone, so I called her. And we yapped about… well, nothing to be honest. Until finally I got off the phone around midnight and went to sleep. Got chewed out again in the morning. Oh, well. It was worth it. But I must admit that yesterday afternoon I may have… Relaxed… Okay, dozed… Fine I laid down and was dead asleep! But I mean, come on! Combine a boring history book with a cozy bed IN THE SUN. So nice and warm… And the blankets are so soft… And this book is soo boring… Murfle snork hippopotamus Ho Chi Minh… I mean, Ho Chi Minh was eating purple trees wearing prom dresses… Popsicle Vietnamese in yellow capes with hotdogs… Zzzzzzzz.

Okay, so not the smartest thing to do. I slept for about 2.5 hours, then Mom finally came to wake me up. *sigh* So maybe I’m not such a night owl.

So anyway… I’m gonna go read my Bible now, before Mom returns from her walking and demands that I do my math. *gag, choke, cough* Math is just so cofusing and frustrating and infuriating and *SOB*.

I really need to go read my Bible.

But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

-2 Corinthians 12:9-10

*-*-*-*-*

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things. Whatever you have learned or recieved or heard from me, or seen in me- put into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

-Philippians 4:8-9

*-*-*-*-*

Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverence; perseverence, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.

-Romans 5:3-5

*-*-*-*-*

We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. If we have been united with him like this in His death we will certainly also be united with Him in His resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done awawy with, that we shold no longer be slaves to sin.

-Romans 6:2-6

*-*-*-*-*

Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, for you are not under law, but under grace.

-Romans 6:13-14

*-*-*-*-*

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending us his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering.

-Romans 8:1-3

*-*-*-*-*

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgement on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgement do the same things. Now we know that God's judgement against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, a mere man, pass judgement on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgement?

-Romans 2:1-3

*-*-*-*-*

I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed to us.

-Romans 8:18

*-*-*-*-*

It does not, therefore, depend on man's desire or effort, but on God's mercy.

-Romans 9:16

*-*-*-*-*

But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?" Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for noble purposese and some for common use?

-Romans 9:20-21

*-*-*-*-*

"By myself I can do nothing. I judge only as I hear, and my judgement is just, for I seek not to please myself, but Him who sent me."

-John 5:30

*-*-*-*-*

Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

-Matthew 10:37-39

*-*-*-*-*

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

-Colossians 3:16-17

*-*-*-*-*

God is just, He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you.

-2 Thessalonions 1:6

*-*-*-*-*

Lord, who may dwell in Your sanctuary? Who may live on Your holy hill? He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart, and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong, and casts no slur on his fellowman, who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the Lord, who keeps his oath even when it hurts, who lends his money without usury, and does not accept a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.

-Psalm 15

*-*-*-*-*

I am still confident of this; I will see the fondness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heed and wait for the Lord.

-Psalm 27:13-14

*-*-*-*-*

I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind, and therefore have hope: Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him."

-Lamentations 3:19-24

*-*-*-*-*

Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

-Romans 5:18-19

*-*-*-*-*

For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!

-Romans 5:10
