Boasting.

This is what the LORD says:
"Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom
or the strong man boast of his strength
or the rich man boast of his riches,
but let him who boasts boast about this:
that he understands and knows me,
that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight,"
declares the LORD.
~Jeremiah 9:23-24


Boast not of your earthly accomplishments, they are temporary and will pass;
not of your wealth, your knowledge, your accomplishments.
Boast of being in the body of Christ, a son or a daughter of the Heavenly King;
for which we were created to thrive for, to live for, to exist for.

Blessed assurance.

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." ~Romans 8:38-39

Praise You, God of earth and sky
How beautiful is Your unfailing love
Unfailing love
And You never change, God, You remain
The Holy One and my unfailing love
Unfailing love
~Chris Tomlin

God, your love for us is incomprehensible. What have we done to deserve your steadfast love? Absolutely nothing... nothing but nail you to the cross over and over, and yet your love for us never changes. Thank you for your unrelenting grasp on us, we are wholly and eternally indebted to you, God, to serve you humbly in love and in faithful obedience. Amen.

1 down... 87 to go.

I am officially done with my first unit of law school, that means only 87 to go!

I read the following is a quote taken from my Criminal Law book, made by a jury foreperson in a New York criminal trial.

“...true justice, final justice, absolute justice, belongs to God; human justice
can only be cautious, not perfect."

Right on the money.

First day of school.

Do you remember the butterflies in your stomach the night before your first day of school?

Will the kids be nice?
Will the teachers be mean?
Who will you sit with at lunchtime?

Did you lay out your clothes and shoes the night before?
Set out your schoolbag with 3 pencils, 2 pens, a big eraser, a fresh empty notebook and folder? Pack a snack and a water bottle?

I guess some things never change... no matter how big the kids get.

Goodbye #3.

Goodbye #2.

Goodbye Tucson. I'll always be a Wildcat at heart.
