SO good, friend! You said it perfectly.

In my attempts to be in the world, but not of it, I'm finding that to be Spirit filled is the only way to avoid legalism and libertinism-maybe to strong a word, too lax maybe in my activities, words, entertainment?? Each day, we absolutely NEED God's guidance to navigate through this world without playing the world's game. Bleh is right, I don't want to waste this vapor, no do overs!<br /><br />Blessings to you today Amanda:)<br /><br />katiegfromtennesseekatiegfromtennesseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02703849303062043642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-40103898461267364952010-07-08T13:48:44.682-04:002010-07-08T13:48:44.682-04:00Thanks AJ!!

Thanks for that! <br /><br />By the way, on Monday night, I couldn't look away from the interview, either.
