I am going away on a trip for a little over a week and I don’t think I’m going to bring my laptop. I’ve decided to just take bags that I can carry on the plane and between my knapsack of clothes and my *very* oversized “purse” for other things, I think I’ll be all set. I reeeeally wish that I could carry on a guitar, but I think that’s impossible given the requirements of carry on luggage.

I feel almost like I’m coming back to a battle scene where it’s quiet and still, and there is carnage lying about me. It shouldn’t be amazing that people read my blog, of course, but to know of certain conversations about it is awkward. I try to blog things that I believe to be true here, but sometimes I look back and see how I was mistaken. So yes, part of my writings here ought to be shunned. Do with them what you will, but do not believe on them. Don’t believe what I say just because it’s hear. Only believe things because they’re true- and Jesus is the source of all Truth, and he is the Truth and the Way, and the Life. No one comes to God except by Him. Follow Him and serve Him. Call on His name.

I am very sad about some things in life, and I am very happy about others. But I am always hopeful. Love will win.

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part; but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away. When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Well…it’s a gray day. It’s a gray day, though, not a grey day. But this is a day that the Lord has made - let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Oh, I forgot pictures.

I can’t remember if I’ve blogged this picture before. My bunk as it was when I left for the winter trip in January.
