I went onto Biblegateway.com ["http://Biblegateway.com/"] searching for the two-verse passage that my small group discussed last night. They always have a "Bible verse of the day," and it happened to be the second verse out of the two that I was looking for. I thought that was kinda nifty. Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. -- Romans 12:1-2 (NIV) ["http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2012:1-2&version=NIV"] I was going to then delve into a personal tangent directly related to this passage (for it had come to me immediately during this study); one good night's sleep later, and it has vanished from my cerebrum. Or cerebellum. Whichever part of the brain that stores things to be retrieved later.
Maybe this delving isn't necessary right now; maybe the Scriptural verse is all that I need to think about today. Even though I still feel like this is an unfinished thought, perhaps the passage is a finished thought by itself.
[I should probably go ahead and say I have no plans to move back to Minnesota at this time or anytime soon. But last night during prayers it hit me that I kinda really want to go and visit for a weekend. If God wills it, I pray that it will happen soon. I have some friends there that I miss and haven't seen for months.]
