When I Don't Desire God by John Piper

"How sweet all at once it was for me to be rid of those fruitless joys which I had once feared to lose . . . ! You drove them from me, you who are the true, the sovereign joy. You drove them from me and took their place, you who are sweeter than all pleasure, though not to flesh and blood, you who outshine all light, yet are hidden deeper than any secret in our hearts, you who surpass all honor, though not in the eyes of men who see all honor in themselves. . . O Lord my God, my Light, my Wealth, and my Salvation."

-Augustine, Confessions, 181 (IX.1)

Pour L'amour du café


I haven't posted in a while so here's what's up...I'm currently sitting in Java City sipping on some coffee, which I love. Mmm, yes, coffee is my addiction. I've been hooked since the beginning though, ever since my Grannie would make me coffee as a tot.

Anyway, I'm just chillin, studying for a Microbiology test. Other than that, not too much going on. I also have a French Test on Wednesday, and it's going to be completely oral, so that's kinda scary...

So, church was pretty much awesome today. It was something that I really needed to hear. The power of Christ's resurrection, and the freedom that comes through that. I know that's pretty basic, but it was so refreshing to hear it again.

Well, I suppose that's about it for now.
