Short update


Sorry guys, I slipped up. I went back on Facebook, and as I predicted, I started neglecting my blog.

What have I been doing? Writing music, trying to memorize the epilogue from The Tempest, struggling with expanding my Spanish vocabulary, writing lyrics, slowly getting a recording studio built. Very slowly. And... Tonight I watched The Blindside, and maybe I'll have thoughts to share on it later. After that, I got to hang out with my best friend, Michelle, and a mutual friend, Danielle. I'm so thankful for my friends, God has blessed me with some that are amazing. He's also blessed me with amazing parents, and I've been realizing it more and more recently. Yes, as you can tell, I forgot to post yesterday. (Ok, so I was trying to do less online yesterday.)

Anyway, I am in need of sleep. Goodnight, y'all!

Whoops

Hey everyone. Sorry for disappearing, but I've been very busy, a little confused about some stuff, and this just hasn't risen to the top of my list of things to do.

Like I said, I've been really busy. I really should be sleeping now, especially because sicknesses are going around. I'll just say my friends in Paraguay are lucky, it's cooling off up here. (it's nowhere near cold, just cool now.)

Psalm 34

I was reading through the 30s Psalms, and ce across this passage that I thought was interesting:
"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, bit the Lord delivers him out of them all. He keeps his bones; not one of them is broken. Affliction will slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. The Lord redeems the life of His servants; none who take refuge in Him will be condemned." (34:19-22)
I think it's interesting how David notes that the righteous are afflicted, but are delivered. Then he says that the wicked are slated by affliction... In other words, the righteous pass, the wicked fail. Then he says again that God redeems those who take refuge in Him. Just a cool parallel that was just far enough apart that I almost missed it.
