One of my favorite authors is Arthur W. Pink and he wrote The Seven Sayings of the Saviour on the Cross. Something I have done before is seven weeks prior to Easter I'd begin to read this book. (I think Charles gave us the link to this book freshman year.) There are seven chapters with seven sections, and so I'd read a section each day leading up to Easter. I love it. I miscounted the weeks so I thought I'd start next week but it was suppose to be last Sunday.
Anyway, join me if you like.

Sadly, I know someone who doesn't like this author, so you may not like him either :(
oh well :)

another reminder
another re-post
A little over a week ago, I got some sort of stomach problem, maybe the stomach flu. I must say, it was one of the most painful sickness I had in a long time. I prayed, prayed, prayed for healing or to just die (not to sound morbid). But it made me dwell on the Lord and reflect on my heart. It made me understand just a little more the pain Christ endured on the cross even though I know my pain was so small compared to that. It's just sometimes I think that He only suffered for a day, so was it that bad? But it was even though it was just for a day. The wrath of the eternal God poured out on Christ for the sins of the world. Anyway, it was good for me, the sickness. Somehow it drew me nearer to Him.
Oh, but I quickly recovered after five days and went back to school. I got caught up with studying. No time to read or pray. No time to meditate. I don't really need God's help anymore.
I'm such a fool. Do not forget the Lord, He is God.

Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments and His ordinances and His statues which I am commanding you today; otherwise, when you have eaten and are satisfied, and have built good houses and lived in them, and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and gold multiply, and all that you have multiplies, then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt, and out of the house of slavery.
Deuteronomy 8:11-14
