church and mingling and LSAT

OK...I am midway through the week and it has been good! Church was so good Sunday, I went back tonight. The only church I have ever gone to on Wednesday is my own, not for prayer meeting, bible study, revival, nothing! So this church must be wonderful! The preacher is absolutely wonderful! Sunday's sermon was about homosexuality and though I didn't think he was talking about me, he did a wonderful job with his deliverary. What I liked most was that though he condemned homosexuality, he didn't condemn the homosexuals. He said it was an evil spirit living within that person and they just needed God/Jesus to deliver them from it. I liked that. He went on to say that we all have evil spirits and we all need God to deliver them from us. So tonight, he preached about a man who had a spirit living within him. (MARK 5) He didn't go in detail, but the man was cutting himself, so to me, that just solidfies that the devil comes to kill and destroy. When the man saw Jesus, he ran up to him and sparked a conversation. So, to me, that means the man wanted help. All Jesus said was "Demons come out." (paraphrasing here) Then He asked the man his name. The devil replied, I am Legion. For we are many." So, to me, when one spirit possesses you, it invites others to do the same. For example, when you have a lustful spirit, you have a tendency to have a fornicating spirit. So anyway, the spirits came out of the man and possessed 2,000 pigs. All of those spirits were in that one man. No wonder he was cutting himself. The pigs then drowned in the sea and assumingly, the spirits drowned with them. The man was so glad he wanted to follow Jesus, but Jesus told him no and to go spread the good news. Anyway, he said that we all need to tell our spirits to get out and walk closer to God. He said that some of us don't tell our spirits to leave because we have become comfortable with them. He also said that by definition, demons cannot possess Christians, they just trespass. He said they cannot possess us bc possess means to own and we are bought with a price already, so the best they can do is trespass. In the the midst of that, they try to get us to do evil things because again, Satan comes to kill, steal, and destroy. So before, we let satan do those things, we need to tell him to get out! What I am trying to say is that church was good!


Tomorrow, I am going to Cocktails and Conversations. I have been saying that I was going since I got here, but for some reason, I haven't. I promise myself that I am going tomorrow. If I don't go home Friday, I am going to an open mic Friday and Saturday. I can't really enjoy myself if I don't get out and mingle. So I have been conversing with some sorors and I expect to meet some more of them tomorrow! After that, I should enjoy more of Houston.

I have been studying for that darn LSAT. Whew! It is difficult. I purchased a prep book and took the diagnostic test. On the reading part, there are 27 questions and I answered 21 of them correctly! GO ME! On the logical reasoning, there are 24 questions, and I got 6 correct! NO ME! I didn't even get halfway through it. I was timing myself like I was actually taking the test. SO yesterday, I spent 8 hours practicing the logic games. I can solve them now, but I'm still not quick enough. Today, I spent 2.5 hours on the logic games and I plan to study some more before I go to bed. It is really hard and I am for real struggling. It's cool though. I have until September 30, so I should improve some. I need to get like a 160, I guess. I don't really know what's good and what's not. I'm going to continue prepping myself and see how I do.
