unsure

I'm unsure of what to blog about, but I am blogging anyway. I went running today and once again felt like the muscle on my rib was about to rip off, so I walked.

I realized last night that I don't often read the Bible as a story, but more like a textbook. Last night, as Cliff went through Acts, I was aching to know what happened next. As much as I disliked hearing all the details of the book in the beginning, I really enjoy it now. So anyway, Paul is about to be chained and blah blah and then Cliff decides to stop reading and talk about it. I felt like I was in a movie, and suddenly the whole thing broke right at the climax. Holy cow... So I just kept reading and reading, sorry Cliff... I had to find out what happened. But I loved it. I usually really enjoy fictional books, but don't read them often because it's a waste of my time, and now I feel as though this is the most riveting book I've read so far. I mean really, Paul is super hardcore. Is it wrong to pray for persecution? Sometimes I really want to, but then I chicken out and don't. But God still hears my thoughts so I'm not sure if I've prayed about it or not. I know during persecution, I might not like it, but I'd like to think I would rejoice in it. I guess I'll never know until it happens....
