Fight the good fight of the faith
Excerpts from 1 Timothy 6
3 If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, 4 he is conceited and understands nothing...
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. ...10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
11 But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
17 Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.
18 Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 19 In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.

The 2nd can be a true weakness for me
From BGEA:
“The disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.” -Acts 13:52
The Bible speaks of three kinds of pleasure. There is lustful pleasure, the lust of the flesh, and Scripture says it is sinful and wrong. There is legitimate pleasure, which is not wrong, but we are not to become so preoccupied with its activities that it takes the place of God. Then there is a third kind of pleasure, lasting pleasure. Do you have that kind? It does not depend on circumstances or feelings. It is the pleasure that runs deep and comes from the Spirit of God.
Prayer for the day:
Almighty God, may my pleasure always come from being filled with the joy of Your Holy Spirit.

My baby had fun
My baby had a fun weekend surfing with the boys. Glad he got to go. It sounded fun and he said he got "Surfed out." Which is a good sign.
It was beautiful here. I enjoyed some sunshine and spent some time with Jamie's sisters. Also, biked, swam and got to lay out a little. Hung out with Reebs and Cocoa (sort of Elsie.) Healthy BBQ chicken for dinner (a la Jamie's fridge.)
So happy when Jamie came home though! Up the Creek Pub - great spot for din-din. The views are great! Loved being there with him.
Only missed out on time with Melinda. Will catch up tonight.
