Prayer

The following is a list of scriptures I came across while doing a study on prayer. The study was quite profitable and had many “Aha!! So that’s why I believe that!” moments. It lacks both commentary because I want you to actually study it on your own and come to your own conclusions, and the texts of the scriptures, because context is important, and likely to be overlooked if I put the text here.

Anyway…Here you go.

Why I started a blog

So I have for the most part felt that blogs were a bit arrogant, I mean…who really cares what is going on in my life, or what my latest ponderings and wonderings are etc.? Then I decided that I don’t care if others care or not. Further, I came to the realization that my current practice of writing my thoughts for my future amusement (laughing at, not with myself) might also amuse others. In any event, I plan to perhaps use this medium to express some of my more outlandish sentiments and views. Hope y’all have fun reading it!
