Stay In The Word

I can see how important it is to read my Bible. Not because I'm so00 good. But because I see how bad I still am. I as a Christian am not exempt from the burdens of the sinful nature. There is nothing good in me except Christ Himself. Throughout the Bible it says how mans heart is evil. I need to be filled with God's Word so I can put it to use the way it was meant to be.

Here are a couple verses I could of used to have memorized these last few days. Also, I think I need something to help me vent from time to time. Any ideas? I'm open to advise. What do you do to keep from fouling up? Perhaps a punching bag, or chopping wood, or going for a run. I'm open to suggestions as long as it doesn't involve turning my furniture into a pile of fire wood. I'm running out of furniture. =)
