Especially since there are countless times the Lord tells ME to do stuff that I don't do. <br /><br />*sigh*<br /><br />He continues to use them to teach ME! :) <br /><br />hugs,<br />DonnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-64574381229297143402010-02-06T04:34:18.793-05:002010-02-06T04:34:18.793-05:00This was our topic from our pastor last Sunday.

(I no longer find memorizing scripture easy, but I still work at it, because I like having God's word in my heart and readily accessible.) I find this whole chapter very humbling, because I fall short on almost everything. So answering your question, Vijaya, would be hard for me.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09458293325369594900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-27547163891122209842010-02-04T09:45:14.583-05:002010-02-04T09:45:14.583-05:00Yeah, well, I hate the telephone.

And that's not good either. Learning to find the balance between being still and being calm, that's what's hard for me.
