For when I think too highly of myself ...
It is not your hold of Christ that saves you - it is Christ; it is not your joy in Christ that saves you - it is Christ; it is not even faith in Christ, though that be the instrument - it is Christ’s blood and merits; therefore, look not so much to your hand with which you are grasping Christ, as to Christ; look not to your hope, but to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. We will never find happiness by looking at our prayers, our doing, or our feelings; it is what Jesus is, not what we are, that gives rest to the soul. (Quote is from Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening)
Novocain, Nitrous Oxide, and George Duke
I had a difficult time at my dental appointment today. A simple filling is all it was, but I was tense, heart beating fast, and teary eyed.
You'd think this would be easy, seeing as how I've had some major oral surgery in the past year and a half. But I was under general anesthesia for all those procedures.
But I got through it ... with some novocain, nitrous oxide, and some George Duke playing in the background.
