Melilot Classic: Sunday, October 5th, 2008 [to be read after the previous post]
[when i'm stalling because i don't want to go to bed, i often just click on a year randomly to see what i was doing to see what i was doing at this time a few years ago. just now i clicked on October 2008.]
i wish Bible study was on the other weekend
i don't like having it on the weekend i work. i'm too tired to want to leave the house. i don't want to go today. however, of course, the chapel that i quoted the other day gave a list of ways in which we are 'caught napping.'"GOD says, 'Do not neglect meeting together...' Hebrews 10:25
...and we go to church or Bible study only if it's convenient and we feel like it."
and
another one i read recently (entitled 'Duty or Privilege') said, "Going
to church is a privilege as well. A friend of mine likes to say, 'I
don't have to go to church, I get to go to church.' That in
itself sums up duty versus privilege...It is a privilege to worship and
praise our GOD at church." The prayer in that one said, 'Forgive me for
focusing on duty more than privilege. Open my eyes to new privileges
every day. I love you LORD."
so i guess i'm going to Bible study. and i guess i'm going with a good attitude. :)

this isn't the first time i've 'melilot classic'ed this one
i didn't end up going to church anyway :/
oh wow God's really talking to you, isn't He?
if only i had better listening ears...
Ooh, I like that about focusing on privilege rather than duty -- I think I focus too much on duty, and get discouraged because I'm not being faithful in many of those duties.
I have that same problem, mel -- needing better listening ears.
