Paul Washer on Song of Solomon

This girl in this book had scorned the love of a king. She considered it as boring to get out of bed, to answer the door when he came to her in the middle of the night. Any other king would have been screaming mad. He would have said, “You were nothing when I found you. I made you my own and you treat me like that, leaving me outside the door? And then you run around the city like a tramp and now you expect me to take you back?”

But when she comes back to the one she so offended, where does she find him? She finds him standing there at the door with a bouquet of flowers for her. He’s picking lilies to give them to the one who has offended his love.

You know why we can’t understand that? Because there is just no love like that in this world. There is no other example of the love of God, except God himself. It is so hard for us to fathom.

"Because Sometimes Things Are Less Than Ideal"

I didn't think a simple tetris battle game with a friend I hadn't spoken to in 2 years would somehow lead to a 3+ hour edifying conversation. I knew wasting time on this game would someday be of use.

Thank you, God, for the people you place in my life. Although it may have been unwise to initiate such a serious talk (considering I had a project due the next day), it was just what I needed at the most appropriate time.

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our Attitudes.” -Charles R. Swindoll

The most ridiculous game ever...

I'm guessing that this is how everyone will look like when they meet Jesus face-to-face.
