Proverbs 27 - Gail - Me too. =)

I also chose:

Verse 6 - Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.

I found out something about someone...and wondered if I should tell her, as what's going on is not right.

I will, and though she may not be happy with what I have to say...

It's better that it comes from a friend, instead of her following along with those that don't have the right values when it comes to this thing, right? The secular world only smothers all of us with deceitful kisses, and when we're in the wrong, it tells us that it's okay, everybody else in the world does that too, that it's normal...but it's not in God's eyes.

Proverbs 25 - Gail

Hi guys. =) Didn't get to use the computer really yesterday, ha ha, so hopefully, so here I am today. =)

Verse 14, though in a way silly, stuck out for me yesterday:

"Like clouds and wind without rain,
Is a man who boasts of his gifts falsely."

Muah hah. I kept thinking it was going to rain yesterday. Not during the day, really, but towards the night, as the daytime, there were thick clouds, a chilly wind, and at night, when playing with a telescope, I felt a bit of drizzle, and the clouds kept moving and covering the stars we were trying to focus on.

And yet, it didn't rain.

Boastful clouds. ^_^

In the same way though, that relates to those who boast falsely, who show off what, well, they really don't have, or even advertisements that make promises that aren't real or that they can't keep. Our school promised every kid that improved their API score from last year a free ticket to Pharoahs - a promise that was never kept, impossible to keep, and empty, made from last year's principal. I had about 2 or 3 kids ask me about it (most had forgotten) on Friday, and when I asked around, it turns out it's not going to be fulfilled. This year's principal, who's new, can't keep a promise he never made, as he wasn't sure what the plans were to do that. Last year's principal - well, he knew he was leaving. And yet, he made a big, boastful-cloud-promise that never rained.

Go!

OK, it has been quiet for way too long, and I have something to talk about:

How does one develop one's hope in God's promises? How does one develop one's love for God? How does one deepen one's faith?

These questions have been on my mind for a while...
