where am i?

I am currently at a friend's house doing this blog....lol

well my week's been ok, very tiring lot's of naps lolzers but i think things are going well the break's been real nice, 12 hours of sleep
I've been reading romans recently and i like the style of writing in the book. Many times it kind of quotes or paraphrases the mindset of a non believer, or maybe a naysayer of the christian faith
Im kind of half quoting cuase i dont have a bible on me but it talks about whether people should do bad, since the goodness of God is shown in our evil doings, or whether we are better people as circumsized, compared to a gentile or someone who instead. And the bible states very clearly and adamently the correct reasoning. 12 All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one." From there the passage nicely transitions into the grace of God, from our own ineptitude. I remember reading sinners in teh hands of an angry God in english class and we basically took a decent passage from it. Almost all of it were allusions and analogies of how bad we are, and how terrible of a place hell is. Becuase of that it seemedl ike no one realized the point of the whole message, the grace. Yes, part of it is to realize how sinful our nature is, and how hell is a scary place, but at the end of the day that's not what our main focus should be on. Our main focus should be on how amazing God's love is for us, to give us such a great gift.

Well im gonna keep going w/ romans and see how that is. Peace
