Random-ness

The things of today:

*I have officially finished the book of Jeremiah as of tonight. Only 13 books left to go before I switch to a new bible. Sad day... but my current bible is becoming somewhat unmanagable. It's completely falling apart. I've had to staple many pages back in and tape even more pages together to stop from ripping. It's just old and has the wear and tear of usage.

*Awesome excerp from Jeremiah! I love that the Holy Spirit allowed stuff like this to go into the bible because it sets my mind on the fact that these were real men:

Jeremiah 38:
10 So the king told Ebed-melech, “Take thirty of my men with you, and pull Jeremiah out of the cistern before he dies.” 11 So Ebed-melech took the men with him and went to a room in the palace beneath the treasury, where he found some old rags and discarded clothing. He carried these to the cistern and lowered them to Jeremiah on a rope. 12 Ebed-melech called down to Jeremiah, “Put these rags under your armpits to protect you from the ropes.” Then when Jeremiah was ready, 13 they pulled him out. So Jeremiah was returned to the courtyard of the guard—the palace prison—where he remained.

Armpits still in tact. :) Ebed-melech, and Baruch were my favorite people in the movie Jeremiah, besides Jeremiah himself.

*I really love Monopoly. The game.

*Today Sarah Root and I hung out. We started driving and somehow ended up in Olathe. So we found the Bass Pro Shop and spent a good portion of the afternoon in there. It's a pretty sweet store I must say.

*I've had a Jon Thurlow song stuck in my head for 3 days now. He had an incredible set this last Wednesday. Totally softened my heart towards Israel.

*Last thing... I've got a hard day coming up tomorrow, so pray for me if you get the chance. :)
