Almost time for bed. Finishing up watching Frasier then off to bed. I love bedtime as it's the time of night I read and meditate. I've found the Bible verse to be true, "Draw near to God and he will draw near to You"..(James 4:8). Bedtime is the best quiet time for me. How does one draw near to God? I believe it's through his written word and through prayer. I've heard several "Christian" (?) people say they don't like to read the Bible...how can that possibly be? The word is like food. It's something our spirit craves, isn't it? (Although some "believers" believe that we don't have a new spirit until our bodies are resurrected and God gives us a new birth at that time.."that which is flesh is flesh and that which is spirit is spirit" (John 3:6). While studying to show oneself "approved of God, rightly dividing the word of truth..."(2 Timothy 2:15), one can encounter many many theologies and philosophies. It begs the question, who or what is correct? What is the truth? How distorted is the message of the cross, from it's early beginnings...with Satan's influences over the past 2000+ years... I'm always pondering; always trying to make sure things add up... I'm just thankful he has given me the desire to know him and the truth. There was a time when I could have cared less. Thank you Jesus.

Bedtime/Reading Time/God Time
