Saturday Morning Learning

What a morning it has been. The breakfast is done, and the reading is on. I'm trying to finish the NT 3 times this year and I just read some inspiring scriptures. The most recent is about Satan and the misleading ways that he overwhelms us, making any sense of truth hard to believe:

Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you were unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native tongue, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.
JOHN 8:42-47

We just had a really sweet men's D-group in which we shared something we got out of a recent quiet time and then got vulnerable and everyone prayed. It was an extremely great time and I'm definitely grateful for all the brother's I'm in the fight with. We're doing our best to promote a deep sense of camaraderie in the brother's ministry. Today I get to move back into my room...but I'm feeling kind of lazy and don't want to really do it all that much...anyways today I get to go hang out with Brian Ha and I'm definitely stoked to get reconnected with him at starbucks...He's the guy that was baptized last year and went back home and kind of dipped out on us. Anyways, I'm trying to get back into his life a little bit especially because I'm going to spend a lot of time at UCSD. I pray that everything works out and he can have a deep influence on his friends in IV.
