Greater Reach 1

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.  Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  2 Corinthians 12:9
My three favorite things other than God?  It definitely has to be books, girls, and coffee.
It stands to reason that my three biggest weaknesses are these same areas:  books, girls, and coffee.
Coffee I could probably do away with if I wanted to.  But I don't want to at this point.  I enjoy it.  I drink anywhere from 1-3 mugs a day.  That's my daily consumption.  I like strong coffee.  I have only drank decaf once.  Starbucks, Caribou, & Dilworth are the places I drink it if I'm out.  Victory Coffee is good too.  The Irish Mocha at Victory is a trip.  Coffee is normally the first thing I do in the morning.  I drink it while I'm studying my Bible.
Girls are amazing.  I'd love to have one right now.  When I hit my early teens all I could think about were girls.  I remember this one time I ws either 14 or 15 and I had one a blonde on my left and a brunette on my right.  They were both tickling me trying to get my attention.  They were both so freaking hot I could not decide which one I wanted to hook up with.  My brain was about to short circuit cause all the blood was in another area if you know what I mean.  We fell off of the wall onto the beach and I broke their fall by having them land on top of me.  I haven't really improved all that much.  I like being faithful to one girl.  One girl is all I need.  I don't need two or three or four.  Three shall be the number of the counting.  Thou shall not count 5.  Six is definitely right out!  <Monty Python>
Books, books and more books.  I seem to have been born with a grace in this area.  I have been reading since before I started kindergarten.  I don't get tired when I read, like some people.  My choice in books has definitely changed.  Now the vast majority of what I read is Christian non-fiction.  I have a whole book shelf of them.  Last time I checked I still enjoy a good fantasy book.  I met a guy last semester who reads alot of the stuff I used to read like the Forgotten Realms books.  I must say it stirred up some nostalgia to want to grab some off the shelf.  Alot of my growing up had to do with books.  I associate different stages of my life with books that I was reading at the time.  God has really blessed me with a passion for books.
I do heartily thank God for His grace.
