Proverbs 13-14

I need this this morning, so I figure there are a few other people who do as well. Proverbs 13 tells us to listen to our Father and to always be faithful to Him. Don't gossip, just keep your mouth closed. Work for what you have/need. Don't advertise what you have, just maintain your integrity. Righteousness is extremely important. Get rid of your pride and have wisdom. Teach others the way to God. Do as you are told/instructed to do. God's creation needs to be faithful to God's goodness. Be trustworthy and honest. Take the correction/discipline and grow from it. Don't ignore the change that needs to happen. Fulfill your goals. Stay away from the wicked/toxic people (yes I know it's hard). Always have prosperity and save money for your grandkids so they can have a great life. Discipline your children because you love them. Lastly, eat healthy. Proverbs 14 advises for us to build our own foundation and to fear the Lord. Don't let your mouth get the best of you, cough cough Leigh Ann. Have strength and always be truthful. Have knowledge and don't mock others. Be around people who make smart decisions and think before you act. No one can share your happiness, they have their own. Don't do what seems right, do what IS right. Always prepare for the heartache, there is one in every situation. Always think about what you're doing before/while you're doing it. Fear the Lord and shut out evil. Be weary of your tempter, LEIGH ANN. Don't try to pull one over on people. Help those who are less fortunate. Hard works will always pay off. It doesn't have to be in monetary value. The truth will always be the best thing. Fearing the Lord keeps people alive. Be patient and understand the situation. Be at peace always. Help others whenever you can. Have wisdom and righteousness in order to live and succeed. Lastly, be a servant to the Lord.

"The Book Thief"

I just recently finished "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. I had no idea what this novel was going to be about going into it; all I knew was that our 10th grade English class study it. Right off the bat I noticed that our narrator was not your average Joe. The narrator is death. When I realized this I said to myself, "Oh this is going to be good." The novel is all about the Holocaust and it is shown from a German point of view. Leisel Meminger's mother gives her away to a foster German family. On the trip to this new family, Leisel's brother dies. So right from the start death is there. I'm not going to give you a synopsis of it, because I think you should read it for yourself. Just know that a German family hides a Jew in their basement for a while, and death is around every corner. That last line of the novel really got me though..."I am haunted by humans."

Beowulf

“Beowulf” is a well-known Epic poem. There is one scene that I absolutely love to read each time I read it, which this makes time number four. Unferth is who you could call the king’s right hand man. When Beowulf arrives to Heorot, Unferth attempts to degrade him. Unferth only has one thing on Beowulf: the fight between Beowulf and Breca. Beowulf lost the fight and Unferth felt the need to say that Beowulf wasn’t as high and mighty as everyone claimed he was. Beowulf explained what happened during the fight and then he goes on to pick a bone with Unferth. The passage reads, “Now I cannot recall any fight you entered, Unferth, that bears comparison. I don’t boast when I say that neither you nor Breca were ever much celebrated for swordsmanship or for facing danger on the field of battle. You killed your own kith and kin, so for all your cleverness and quick tongue, you will suffer damnation in the depth of hell. The fact is, Unferth if you were truly as keen or courageous as you claim t...

Inside Out

I waltz into my master bathroom to draw herself a bath. I remove the blood stained clothes and sink into the hot, bubbly water. The suds around mebegan to fizzle and pop, taking me back to the Vilmart dinner I had with my husband just a week earlier. Two champagne glasses sat half-filled on a white tablecloth that reached to the floor. Candles burned in the center of the table. I had been busy staring at the menu while my husband stared at me. Every once in a while I looked up and studied his disgusted scowl. I finally closed her menu and said, “Are you really going to be mad at me forever?” “Do you not realized what you’ve done?” I looked around to see if anyone had noticed his angered tone, and leaned in towards the middle of the table. I whispered, “Nothing happened.” “Yeah? And pigs fly.” “Would you stop?” He leaned in towards me. “No, I won’t. Do you know what it’s like getting a phone call from your best friend at two a.m. saying that he went out and saw your wife in the sa...
