Just some verses I've been thinking about lately. I mean, I'm not going to offer comentary, but I will give you some verses that have been spiraling though my head.
And just because my brain is in a million places, and it's three in the morning, and I have half of the night left to be lost in my thoughts, I figured I'd share some of them.

Do not be overly righteous, nor be overly wise; Why should you ruin yourself?
-Ecclesiastes 7:16

Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God.
-Psalms 146:5

His foundation is in the Holy Mountains. The Lord loves the Gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God.
-Psalms 87:1-3

Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! They walk, O Lord, in the light of your countenance.
-Psalm 89:15

(side note: Micah, you just walked so close to my desk that you almost knocked my notebook off...I feel like that was VERY unnecessary.)

...That your love would abound still more and more.
-Phillipians 1:9ish

No more will anyone call you Rejected,
   and your country will no more be called Ruined.
You'll be called Hephzibah (My Delight),
   and your land Beulah (Married),
Because God delights in you
   and your land will be like a wedding celebration.
For as a young man marries his virgin bride,
   so your builder marries you,
And as a bridegroom is happy in his bride,
   so your God is happy with you.
-Isaiah 62

Dance, dance, dear Shulammite, Angel-Princess!
   Dance, and we'll feast our eyes on your grace!
Everyone wants to see the Shulammite dance
   her victory dances of love and peace.
-Song of Songs 6:13 (message)

9 And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, 11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
-Philippians 1:9-11

 8 The Lord raises the poor up from the dust,
       and he lifts the needy from the ashes.
    He lets the poor sit with princes
       and receive a throne of honor.
-1 Samuel 2:8

I slept tonight at the awakening service.  Anytime anyone sleeps at the awakenings I think it's funny. This is probably becuase I have a terrible sense of humor and it's just a great pun, that someone would sleep during something that it called an "awakening".  Either way it's funny and silly that I slept.  It's really loud at the awakening.
Also came to the realization at the Awakening that even though someone who had a great beard shaved it, they're actually way cute. Even without it.
I am easily distracted.

My hair is long enough to wear in a bun.

I'm trying not to overthink things.

I snuck out and went to the 8am set in the PR this morning, and it was wonderful. I feel like it was not a good idea for multiple reasons. Firstly, I was breaking cerfew, which I'm trying NOT to do (I have been every day of the whole internship. Broken curfew.) And it just made me realize how good the daytime sets are. And how much I'd want to go to the prayer room during those sets. How good the music is, the vocalists, just the fact that it's not three in the morning.
Only 65 more days. I just have to keep telling myself that.
And 8 of those days (only 8) are days off. So only 57 more days.
That is a big number.
I'm going to smash my face on the table now.

I'll probably talk to you tomorrow, blog.
Later Days. Like they said on the Weekenders.
Or, like the LDS church... only, missing a letter.
