Oops...

I wasn't sure what to write about tonight, but i think i got it. I will be me and put a few random things first.

My car was fixed. Haven't driven it for 3 and a half months. I've been going everywhere in my F-150 (when Dad wasn't borrowing it). To fix my car, it only cost $202.72! Without exaggerating, for the difference in gas mileage, i probably could have saved that 202 about 3 times over. I love getting 26 miles to the gallon (or atleast that's what it was the last time i checked) in my car. After not being driven for that long, it did require a wash. Good thing it wasn't that cold out today. (Yes, i knew it was supposed to rain tonight. I was just concerned with getting the layer of whatever it was growing on it off)

Took a personality test at the BSM. I'm gold I'm told i'll be able to better explain what exactly that means later on...
Addition to my "Guidelines for Dating" list- Don't be unequally yoked. I've always known that and would have told you that any day... I just didn't think to add it to my list.

Quote of the day "Context, context, context!" ~me. Getting the context on any statement is important- especially one coming from scripture. Cults are formed from someone picking out one verse that they like and twisting it to say whatever it is they want it to (or might sound like without twisting in any way.) I usually take a long time to write all of my blog entries including scripture because i read atleast the section the verse is found in and sometimes the surrounding chapters if i'm not very familiar with the book. When i posted about Jeremiah 29:11-13, i did the same thing. I knew it was Jeremiah's letter to the exiles. I knew it was addressed to them in referring to the end of their captivity. I knew all that, yet still decided to use it. I was a bit worried that it might be taken out of context. My decision in thinking it had to be ok was because i have heard so many people that i respect do so. Whenever you look at scripture, you need to look at it as face value instead of making it say what you want it to say. We cannot use our circumstances to make a scripture into what we want to hear. "The word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the dividing sunder of the joints and marrow and of the soul and spirit and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4:12. Didn't look it up, but very close to the KJV. God will use it to speak to us. That does not give us the right to read between the lines and make it say something that is not written. "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work." We can learn whatever we need to from scripture- we just need to be careful about looking in the right places...
As far as Jeremiah is concerned, i edited it. If you were one of my readers, go back and read the note attatched to the bottom. It's late, so i apologize if it doesn't make much sense.
