haven't been up this late in a long time; at least not in a state where im sitting up with lights turned on, mind empty and scrambling but heart full and heavy.

tis been a long week thus far upon returning to Kingston, being sick did not add well to the adjustment - back to the groove, to the schedule and routine and chicken-thigh deprivation. (i dont understand how i can go the day before and after my housemate, and yet she manages to come back with boneless, skinless thighs. perhaps they stocked right after i went to the store and sold out that very same night?!!)

How fitting that I came across the verses today, the verse that would be part of our theme for PHO Real at the beginning of last semester.
2 peter 1:3-9

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodnes. through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption int he world caused by evil desires.

For this very reason, make every efffort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.

For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.

i ask people jokingly all the time, i guess it's my catch phrase almost, if 'you're fo real?!'

Pure and Holy Obsession. PHO Real.
im glad i finally mustered up the courage to ask myself the very same question.
surely we (all) can change.
