My day was really good. I didn't take my computer downstairs (ha, can't wait until I don't have to say "downstairs" any longer) for my prayer shift today and let me tell you, this puter is a distraction if you let it be. Anyway, I'm reading a book on the Song of Solomon by Watchman Nee. I've been diving into the never ending topic of love for the past two months. Seems as though God has me linking Song of Solomon 5:2 (I sleep but my heart is awake) and Galatians 2:20 (I am crucified with Christ...) right now. I had a dream two months ago about Galatians 2:20 and it is one of those verses I can't stop meditating on even if I wanted to. It seems to be one of those that takes me to various places in the Bible and just keeps bringing me back to itself. Here's what Watchman has to say about SOS 5:2 "I sleep but my heart is awake..."
"Here is seen the very great difference between the outer and inner man of the believer. One should be at rest outwardly but very much awake and alert inwardly and not at all sleepy. This picture coincides precisely with the Apostle Paul's testimony in Galatians 2:20: "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me." In this the apostle personified a complete union and communion with the Lord Jesus Christ, and such a person is unusally sensitive, alert, and full of feeling to any still small voice of the Lord's speaking."
I want that.

Thats cool, I never tied SOS 5:2 and Galations 2:20 together. I never even thought about those verses in the same thought before until now. Well I really should get back to paying attention to Kirk instead of writing you a comment.
As i was trying to say on your xanga thing which failed me by every means: i'm a lost junkie, and i thought we could share in our addiction if you were caught up on all your lost episodes. So get on the ball because february is coming soon. If i were a lost character i'd be....Hurley...but smarter...*stares off into space...
