It's Been Awhile

• I spent several hours throughout the last week and a half looking into martial arts, particularly eastern martial arts. This is more or less the conclusion I've come to: too much or all eastern martial arts are related to, either closely or distantly, to non-Biblical religious activity.... I don't plan to intentionally engage myself in such practices. If I learn some self-defense styles or martial activities through military or police training, so be it, but I think it unwise for someone to intentionally engage themselves in an activity they know to be closely related to wrong practices.
  
  
• But life is good! This weekend has been filled with much prayer, getting closer to God, and joy through gifts He has given to us, especially people we hold very dear. Anticipation and excitement decorate the thoughts of my future. What glories does God have planned for even such a simple, poor soul as myself? I only ask Him that I am given the grace to get through whatever happens, whenever it happens. God is good, and I praise Him for the life He has given me!
