"God does not look at how fervently we preach the gospel or how willingly we suffer for Him; He looks to see how obedient we are. God's kingdom begins when there is an absolute obedience to God - no voicing of opinion, no presenting of reasonings, no murmuring, no reviling... Wherever there is a church on this earth who truly obeys God's authority, there is the testimony of the Kingdom and there Satan is defeated. Satan is not afraid of our work so long as we act on the principle of rebellion. He only laughs in secret when we do things according to our own thoughts."

Marie is spending the night tonight, so I must clean my room/pack up for Belton... oh dear! This is going to be an interesting endeavor. Wish me luck!
In other news, UT did not win the big game last night. Sad story! BUT, the game was a lot better than we expected it would be after McCoy got injured. At one point (I think it was at 5 minutes left) it was 24-21, and we were sure that we could at least get a field goal to tie it up! But then came the fumbles. But I tip my hat to Garrett Gilbert (the freshman who subbed in for Colt), and of course to our brother Colt McCoy, who is "standing on the Rock"!
Alright, I better not stall anymore. Later!
Love you! Excited to hang out! :)
