- Nothing is so fatal to religion as indifference. (Edmund Burke)
 

So...you all know that some of us go to church every week right? We hear a wonderful sermon (maybe, depending on the week, etc.) and we think "wow, that's so amazing" and then....we forget about it maybe a week later. So does the information that we loved so much that week...does that get applied to our lives, even when we can't remember what it was we learned? Because if it doesn't, all of these sermons are given in vain. They might be excellent messages and wonderful ideas on how to grow in our relationship with our Savior and with our family in Christ...but if we can't remember what we learned (same thing goes with h.s. and college) what difference does it make?


 

I know it must make some difference...but I bet it could make so much more if we only learned what was being taught.

 

So maybe it's a good idea to actually jot down the main point each week and actually review it daily throughout that week with our daily devotions; being careful to apply what we learned during that week, so that later on in life, what we learned will only come naturally in our lives. But I often wonder how many people actually apply what they've learned (both in school and church) to their daily lives....I know I've heard many good messages (from Dave Burkum from CSF, from pastors, etc.) but have failed to remember what they were about more than a week later. Now I'm not sure if what I heard I took to heart or if it's really stored in my brain for when I'll really need it? I can only try to do my best from now on to apply what I've learned so that I may grow even deeper with my walk with the Lord.

 

Anyway, that's my thought of the day....or from a couple days ago...lol

 

So it's 4am here, technically Friday morning...and I'm just finishing up my break at work. I've been able to stay awake every night now for the past couple weeks without caffeine! That's pretty good! It's also Bethany's birthday today so wish her a good one!

 

Later today I'm supposed to be helping Mandii move into a new appartment...somewhere in Minnetonka? Somethin' like that? Well I'll find out soon!

 

Have a wonderful day all! God bless!

Shalom,

Micah (6:8)

I know it’s been since around Thanksgiving since I last posted on here. I wish I had a better excuse for not formulating a better journal since then, except to say that I’ve been spending more time just enjoying life rather than writing it all back down again! But I do need to get back into the groove so as to entertain myself in the future…reminiscing of wonderful events that took place in my life.  I guess a few of my friends only know of the life I post on Xanga so that’s another reason I need to stay current. G-d has just been so wonderful in my life recently and has blessed me with such a wonderful family and amazing friends! I can only describe the joy I have as…indescribable! It’s a feeling that is so unable to be expressed at times. It’s not even a feeling! Joy is so much more than that! Well – on to my highlights of the past…lots of stuff! If I “forget” anything – “remind me” and I’ll post it ;) Prepare to be amazed (or really disgusted!) at this incredibly long post! (Ps. Tod

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! You know – I feel like most of us in this country really take this holiday for granted, regardless of how much promotion it’s given and regardless of how much knowledge we have of our historical past. What we need to remember is that we came to this country to escape persecution and to worship G-d (aka Jesus Christ) in a way that contradicted the teachings of the king of England. Because of this we left and came to the New World, where we fought the Indians (making both wise and foolish decisions) and eventually came to be the great country that we are now. We are truly blessed…thinking of all the other countries that don’t have the same privileges that we do. Praise G-d for His everlasting love and His hand of protection upon this country still. I fear one day that the hand of His will no longer protect this country us if we continue to turn away from Him and go about our own way…               School has been quite busy. I’ve had so many papers to do, pro

Hey everyone! Yeah I know it's been a while!! I still gotta update - but it's ok. I have most of what i've done on my calander, so it shouldn't be too hard to update. I just missed my 1st class today (well I woulda been 10 min. late so I figured...screw it) so I just thought I would write a little about what's going on right now in my life. So grades are well....so far. As in all my classes and B in Hebrew right now. Not to shabby. This weekend is the retreat for CSF (Christian Student Fellowship) up at Camp Salie. I can't go Fri. night because of a frat thing, but I'm taking a few people up Sat. It should be fun. Um - Bush is still the best! If Kerry wins I'm moving to Canada :) Who's with me?! One of my hardcore Christian friends is very against Bush (because of the war) and doesn't really like Kerry either (because of most of his beliefs) but is either going to vote Nader (throw the vote away) or Kerry (not a good idea). So lets forget the war
