So Tired...

I just don't get enough sleep. I need to remind myself to take a sleeping pill at 8pm and when it kicks in an hour later to go straight to bed. As if...

Got called into work yesterday. Was a good day. No one gave me any grief. Actually the whole weekend was good. The super bowl party was fun. I of course pay no attention to the game. I just go for the fellowship.

My leg seems to be slowly healing. It looks so nasty but doesn't hurt as much and there isn't as much heat coming off it anymore. Still wish I had silver spray. I need to order some!

Well today I have some errands to run then I'll be working on the boys pc. Guess what? Another damn virus! And theirs was protected! I have decided screw everyone and their words of wisdom! I never had problems before when I had norton so I'm installing norton all all the computers now! Stick with what you know works!

Here's Pastor Hersch:

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. Galatians 6:7

The Scriptures are full of warnings about self-deception. James 1:26 reminds us that we deceive ourselves when we think we are religious but do not bridle our tongue. There is nothing that grieves God more than when we bad-mouth people instead of building them up with our speech.

We are never to use our tongues to put others down. Instead we are to edify one another in what we say and thereby give grace to those who hear us. If your tongue is out of control, you're fooling yourself to believe that you have your spiritual life together.

We also deceive ourselves when we think we will not reap what we sow, Galatians 6:7. As Christians we sometimes think we are exempt from this principle, but we are not. Even though our sins are forgiven, we will have to live with the results and consequences of our thoughts, words and actions whether good or bad.

Those raised in a rural setting were able to witness every year the law of cause and effect. If they didn't sow good seed in the spring, they didn't reap a good crop in the fall. If the sheep were not fed, they died.

Many people, young and old, have difficulty grasping this simple sow-and-reap truth. Living from weekend to weekend or party to party, they fail to prepare themselves for the future.

Your life may be measured by what you reap, but it is determined by what you sow. For example, if you want a friend, be a friend. What you get out of life is what you put into it.
