"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." Philippians 4:8

So, the semester is already really busy and I am already feeling pretty tired. In my History of Christian Thought class we were talking about Thomas More's book, A Dialogue on Comfort Against Tribulation. In it, he says that one particular sin that men face is more or less getting too caught up in daily affairs. In my own busy schedule, I find that this is particularly true. In fact, I would say that the more busy I get, the more I time I should set aside for prayer and Scripture reading. The more tired I am, the more I am in need of refreshing from God's riches and sufficiency. The more responsibilities that I have, the more I am in need of God's wisdom. So, I guess I am not really sure what I am trying to say, other than acknowledging my evident weakness and need for Christ's love and sustaining grace. Praise God for his goodness to us.
