Joel's Christmas fun

So after a couple of days with friendsis Seattle, I've arrived in California. Right now I'm holding a small shih tzu puppy and my mom is watching a humor-lacking Jay Leno. Today I've enjoyed sleeping in until 4:00 pm, now changing out of my pajamas, eating a steak dinner, having coldstone icecream, then enjoying chips and salsa over Barbara Walters asking people what Heaven was. It was interesting when she questioned the Islamic leader what he believed, the satelite cut out. Hmmm.....

I'm probably going to be doing a lot of nothing over the break, so pray I'll not be too idle, but take advantage of the time given to me to press in to devotion and homework.

Word of encouragement- check yourself. Are you being idle? Are you neglecting to doing the right thing? How much time are you devoting to the Lord? So far my available time has gone up and time in prayer and Bible study have gone down. Prayer and the Bible are the foundations of Christian living. Without these two, the enemy can easily confuse and mislead. We also loose closeness with the Lord when we neglect to meet with Him, just like any other person. If you neglect to talk to me, you won't know me or be as close to me as you were when you did talk to me all the time. So there it is- keep meeting with Him. Pray that I will too. Thanks!
