I feel bad about that, because I think Zondervan paid for it and gave us a book and materials. Great cause to end world slavery today.<br /><br />But just goes to show that lack of sleep (not to mention this cold here, it's now 0 degreees F) does tell on a person, as you say.<br /><br />I especially find Scripture helpful for me when I feel like I'm "up against it" lately. When life somehow for whatever reason seems overwhelming, or I know I'm not doing well in it. It helps just to get back in, and try to be before God, in it.<br /><br />Thanks.Ted M.

We don't always feel the effects immediately but the longer we go on with insufficient sleep, the less healthy we become and we also get grouchy...which is also another negative side effect of missing scripture. :-)Every Square Inchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636924397725214300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20184070.post-19779502472549656742007-02-05T17:39:00.000-05:002007-02-05T17:39:00.000-05:00Charity, Yes.

But it's kind of an interactive thing which is beyond complete description or comprehension. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing that.Ted M.

The methods have changed over the years, but the Word itself keeps doing the same things in my life: convicting me of sin, bathing me in grace, encouraging me to persevere, showing me how to grow up, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20184070.post-28266158657980493132007-02-05T15:59:00.000-05:002007-02-05T15:59:00.000-05:00iPod?

I got one with lots of memory (for just this reason). <br />And I got some CDs loaded, but I can't seem to get them in order... and I keep having other problems. <br /><br />I agree, there's power in hearing it, but I'm back to using CDs. <br /><br />Oh, what I'd pay for an MP3 player preloaded, with easy navigation for accessing recordings of scripture!
