Day three-hundred-twenty-seven

Right now, they're showing one of those ASPCA commercials where the animals are in cages and they play incredibly sad music. Nobodyikes these commercials because they're so unashamedly manipulative, but if that's what they're going for, at least they're successful. 

I've felt kind of down today. Maybe it's fatigue, I don't know. I find that when I'm tired, my emotions tend to rise more to the surface.

Samantha and Joshua came into town last night and were at church this morning. It was nice to see them and I look forward to seeing them again on Wednesday night. They're going to be here for two weeks, so hopefully I'll get a few opportunities to see them.

My life is so much better than when I was unsaved, but it's still very lonely sometimes. I don't get to see any of my sisters and brothers as often as I'd like, and I've been confronted more and more by how much I miss not being part of a regular Bible study. I need that fellowship, and I need to make the effort, something I've neglected in the past. 

Hebrews 10:25 admonishes us "not to forsake the gathering of the brethren, as is the habit of some." I've been guilt of being a part of the "some" in the past; pray that the Lord would help not be so in the future.
