Midterms are upon us.
I think midterms are the worst thing in the world.
Not really, but stay with me on this one.
There is a system put into place that lets people be rewarded with their accomplishments.
Midterms seem to break the rules, in my opinion.
Finals are great.
Not because of what they are, but what they represent.
School is finished after finals, the term is over and a new one begins.
There is a nice reward of break after finals.
After midterms, what is the reward?
More school.
Doesn't it seem ridiculous to you?
Maybe a little?
No?
Well, I don't care its my blog and I'm going to e-cry if I want to...e-cry if I want to...e-cry if I want to...
Maybe I won't cry now.

Certain habits produce good and favorable results.
Others don't
Simple enough.
It is very important to realize that the formation of some habits are more beneficial or detrimental to the well-being of one's life.
For instance, it will produce more favorable results when the habit of exercise is instilled in one's life, more so than the habit of drugs and the list goes on.
In 1 Timothy 4:8 it says, "For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come."
Truthfully its hard.
Its an amazing sight when people are striving and "beating their bodies" to do such.
I think beauty is in the sight of the beholder, but some things are just universally beautiful and one of them is a person wrestling and struggling to get to that next level in their relationship with God.
When Saul of Tarsus was persecuting the Christians, the name the Jewish pharisees had for Christians were followers of the Way latching onto the phrase that Jesus used when He said He was "the Way, the Truth and the Life."
After Saul's conversion to Paul, no one more fervently followed the Way.
Let us continue to strive after and follow Jesus in the way that Paul did.
