focus = lost

I got three and a half hours of sleep last night.  Not optimal.  My ability to focus on anything right now is minimal.  It may be my curse that God has gifted me with the desire and ability to do so well academically that often my sanity is sacrificed for it.  But I'm going to sleep soon.  A passage for you to meditate on; Matthew 22:1-14.  And a blog for you to read; I'm all in, but only by His strength from my friend, and sister in Christ, Chelsea.  Of course, you can always see what blogs I am following by checking the sidebar under "what Jaiqu reads."  My father recently wrote an interesting post on his blog entitled; I didn't win the lottery.  He brings up many interesting points I wish I had the focus and background to address now.  I hope to write a post in the future addressing the seemingly most controversial of the five points of Calvinism; limited atonement.  I'm not decided yet though.  I know that the Bible makes many statements that, at least on the surface, seem to state that Christ died for everyone's sins.  But at the same time, limited atonement follows logically from the other points of Calvinism which are all backed extensively by scripture.  So I am intrigued by the controversy and seek to delve deeper into what scripture says on this topic, for we must submit to scripture and not to human understanding.  In all things, God is good.  Praise God that He saved me.  Praise God for those He has, is and will save; they are my family in Christ.  Done.
