The ADMIRABLE things of the Lord Jesus Christ and those fully surrendered to Him. The potentially awful ways and consequences of those opposed to His authority. And the Adequate (after all, even the most successful lives consist at least partially of the mundane). Bible passages, stories, poems, pictures, reposts, and more ... it will all be here to contrast the best and worst, the most wonderful and most horrible. For God's glory and humankind's edification.

My recent time of abiding in Christ
While I recently wrote about the importance of abiding in Christ so that we may be of significant worth to God's kingdom, I must admit, however, that for an ADD-ish mindset like mine, stopping my mind from racing for any reason other than sleep isn't the norm. But maybe because I had just posted about abiding on my blog, I decided it's time to give it a whirl. So as I lay in bed early this morning, unable to sleep, I pictured myself in Jesus's arms, resting my head on His breast. I thought about His great joy, and the peace He offers. I thought about how He loves us so much that He wishes we would abide with Him more often. I think He was pleased at how I spent those few moments. I didn't get back to sleep, but I was refreshed in knowing I made a deeper connection with my Lord. I pray this will be a more frequent occurrence, both in my life and in yours.
