The open window and the happy plants. (It's not raining, the window is just dirty)
Sometime after my run, I decided it was time to eat something so I went to the fridge and found celery and ranch. We really need to go grocery shopping but I do very much like celery and ranch so that worked out.
I also really like bread and cheese. Fortunately, there were leftovers from last night.

On another note, it struck me a few weeks ago, (sometime after this wisdom was given to me by my pastor) that apparently I didn't have a full grasp of the concept of grace. I would feel guilty over any little thing that I possibly did that could have even possibly been wrong. Hm, something's wrong with that picture. I am (meaning, even now, at present) a sinner saved by grace so what was the problem? I went to Bible college. I took a class on Romans. I will never be perfect. I "knew" all these things. Why was (and am) I stuck in this cycle of fear and guilt? I'm still figuring it all out, but at least I can strive to rest in the grace that God has given to me. Christ's death covers all of my sins - from my past, present, and future. I cannot earn my way into heaven or out of guilt. He knows that I can never be perfect and that is why He offered to save me.
Just something to chew on.
