Cooler Weather

Last night's rain helped to bring in a little bit of cooler weather. We have been getting used to having weather in the 70s and 80s as of late, but last night the temperature ended up being dropped down into the upper 40s. I do feel, though, that is will pass very quickly and we will be back to enjoying the summer weather that is upon us.

I am excited about seeing Hope again in a couple of days. We are looking at going either bowling or mini golfing depending on the amount of time that we will be ending up having once I get down there to see her. We have been enjoying each other's company and talking on the phone. I am learning alot about her and enjoying the fact that she is a believer just like me.

My weekly discipleship lunch with Pastor Scott is today and we will be discussing in our lesson today about giving. This was a good lesson because it showed me that even though I may not have enough money or things, that I should still give when it is placed on my heart to and this will help to give me more heavenly things and take my focus off of the earthly things here. I am becoming sad that the end of my discipling is coming to a close soon, but excited about the foundation that I have built and the possible opportunity to eventually disciple others in the future.

The Sermon on the mount is an important speech that was given by Jesus and one that shows what the Christian life is all about. Here is the part that I am currently learning:
"And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a moutain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying:
Blessed are the poor in spirit: For theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: For they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: For they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: For they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: For they shall obtain mercy."
-Matthew 5:1-7

Now for the 5 things that I am thankful for today are:
1) Hope, my girlfriend
2) my next breath
3) the vitamin water I am drinking
4) my health
5) my jobs
