That's what I'm talkin bout

Oh Church was really good today. But there were some scriptures I wanted to share because it was just what I was writing in my diary last year.....Not like this, but basically it was the same concept. This is from the amplified Bible. I love the amplified version.


From the Book of Romans:

18 For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot perform it. [I have the intention and urge to do what is right, but no power to carry it out.]

19 For I fail to practice the good deeds I desire to do, but the evil deeds that I do not desire to do are what I am [ever] doing.

20 Now if I do what I do not desire to do, it is no longer I doing it [it is not myself that acts], but the sin [principle] which dwells within me [[a]fixed and operating in my soul].

21 So I find it to be a law (rule of action of my being) that when I want to do what is right and good, evil is ever present with me and I am subject to its insistent demands.

22 For I endorse and delight in the Law of God in my inmost self [with my new nature].(A)

23 But I discern in my bodily members [[b]in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh] a different law (rule of action) at war against the law of my mind (my reason) and making me a prisoner to the law of sin that dwells in my bodily organs [[c]in the sensitive appetites and wills of the flesh].

24 O unhappy and pitiable and wretched man that I am! Who will release and deliver me from [the shackles of] this body of death?

25 O thank God! [He will!] through Jesus Christ (the Anointed One) our Lord! So then indeed I, of myself with the mind and heart, serve the Law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.


Yes that's basically what I was saying only more poetic and stuff.

On another note:

I think BK is trying to kill people with all this meat on their burgers. Either that or they just ordered too much and are trying to get rid of it. It's crazy.

Oh yeah today at church I broke out my big hat. It was like the hat was a celebrity of its own. We even took pictures. Soon to be on Facebook.
