It's 10:42 pm and I'm home as I write this. We got to get off a little early; a nice way to start the weekend.
It's an exciting time right now. As I write this, my friend Eneida is getting ready to have her first baby. Eneida and her husband Rudy are at the hospital as I write, so hopefully I'll have some good news by this time tomorrow. Pray for a safe delivery for mama and baby.

I've been reading the th epistle of 1Peter lately, and earlier today, I finished chapter four, which talks about judgment. What struck me in particular is that the judgement of men begins with the church (verse 17). It's not the same judgment of men as befalls the unforgiven, but rather chastening or correction for the purification of the church.
It made me realize that I resist the chastening of The Lord. Scripture says that God chastens those he loves, and I know He loves me because He saved me. I know that I need correction, but it's not all going to happen at once. I'm facing a lifetime of correction and chastening; pray that I would be mindful of God'sove in all that He does for me to His glory.
