Satan is a jerk

Main Entry: green
Pronunciation: 'grEn
Function: adjective

: deficient in training, knowledge, or experience b : deficient in sophistication and savoir faire : NAIVE c : not fully qualified for or experienced in a particular function

Does this feeling ever go away? Will I ever feel like I'm well versed in the bible and what it all means? I feel like very time I turn around there's something else I've been missing. Another aspect of the Christian life that I never even considered.

It's astounding to me how predictable the devil is. He tells me the same lies over and over- the same ones he's been telling others for centuries! I read about the lies he's told others. They're the SAME ONES! So why do I continue to fall for them? And then want to beat myself up for falling for them- he loves that. jerk. It really makes me angry that he knows my weak spots and exploits them. I'd love to take a shovel to that snake! Thats how my daddy used to kill chicken snakes- cut off their heads! So, maybe from now on when I struggle with the devil's lies I'll picture myself cutting his head off with a shovel.

I will bring my sword and we can both get him!

I want to help get him, too! You stand prepared, I'll flush him out of the brush.

On another note, I totally relate to missing an aspect of living the Christian life.

I think there comes a point where there's no "living the Christian life" but there's "living Jesus." And let's be honest Jesus is way bigger doing all the right things.

It's a bit overwhelming, but a lovely feeling, no?
