Holy Living...

I came across this tonight, its quite interesting - and it relates to my previous blog - about living a life that is pure, holy and true...

“It is those who 'hunger and thirst after righteousness' that are to be 'filled.' A Pure Heart will esure a Holy Life. What do I mean by a holy life? It is a life that meet the requirements and ensures the fulfillment of the promises of this Holy Book; a life fashioned after the life of the Lord Jesus Christ. Is not such a life desirable? Is not a man who is able to live out his religion before his family, before his workmates, and beofre the world highly privileged? Will he not be a means of blessing to those around him whichever way he turns? Look at him. He is honest and faithful in all his worldy dealings; in his shop factory home or wherever he may come. He has an honest heart. he is true to his promises. His word is his bond. You can trust him either in or out of sight. He has a ture heart. He is industrious. He neither shirks his duty nor wastes his time nor scamps his work. He has an industrious heart. He is kind. He is loving to his wife tender to his children; faithful to his friends; gentle to the weak; sympathetic to the sick. he has a kind heart. He is compassionate. He pities the poor; yearns over the backslider; fights for the Salvation of sinners in public and cries to God for their deliverance in private. He has a soul-loving heart. He is a holy man. His secret life is holy. In thought and feeling conversation and disposition he is able to please God and do His blessed Will. He has a Pure heart. Is not such a heart desirable? I thank God for as many of you as you have bought by Divinde Grace into the possession of this beautiful treasure. But I want you all to come up to this standard. I want you all to enter this holy state.” - William Booth - Purity of Heart.

Blessings,
Michelle

yup. just as long as you don't let anyone else burn them - its just like coping a cd and giving it to someone else.

hhhmmmm big questions... well i - personally - don't think it'd be a problem. just do what you feel in your heart is right. I mean - as long as you aren't buring copies of discs off of people or what not i think then you will be ok. Also i think if you buy the tracks burn them for a friend - wouldn't that be like buying a friend a cd? which would totally be good. but then the thing is - will you be willing to delete the tracks that you have downloaded or would you keep them?

its a hard issue - I mean I burned cd's for my friends and I think it all really depends on what you feel in your heart is right and most of all what Jesus would do. I I get lots of my music from puretracks.com - i love that site.

to be honest after I burn a disc I do keep the original track still... so piracy - its a really tough call when it comes to mp3's...

what do you think????

More Passion

Last night I was unable to sleep - I think the main reason for that was for having a large double double coffee at like midnight! my bad... Anyways hanging out was heaps fun - and once I got home I just chilled out - I grabbed my guitar and had started to write a song for a friend of mine... I wish I knew how to post songs on here so that I could let you guys hear it... anyways its a good song. I'll probably spend the night trying to figure it out! I was thinking last night of how life is - I mean life can be just so confusing - sometimes life can cause you to have so much heartache and sometimes its hard to even understand why... (to be continued...)

Funny...

Ok... I was TOTALLY planning on sharing more from my last post. BUT I thought that tonight I would share something on the funny side. You see yesterday I worked from 9-6:30pm... worked an hour and a half over time - it was good though but my feet were totally killin' me... and today I worked an 8 hour shift. My feet were killing me even more tonight - so I had decided to saok my feet - then I decided forget that I'm gonna have a bubble bath. So as I was preparing the water and bubbles my cat - Jessie - decided that it would be fun to play with the bubbles. So she was sitting on the edge of the bathtub and I just watched her then all of a sudden she jumped from the tub to the toilet - and the lid to the seat happend to be up - which its usually down cause I don't want her drinking from the toilet. So anyways - she kinda got a bit wet. She was in the toilet! LOL it was really funny stuff - I don't think she will be jumping from the tub to the toilet for a while... Anyways...
