I read 113 pages in Yeager this week.

Quotes of the week:
  • "Freedom is nothing more than the constant, thrilling awareness that you are free, that you choose your own atttitude from moment to moment - and that you can't control other people's choices." 
 -From Welcome to the Jungle by Hillary Smith

I liked this quote because it is all about controlling your actions. It pretty much says to control what you can control and relinquish what you can't control. This is very important in one taking responsibility for their actions. I enjoy this freedom to choose my own attitude by picking an attitude that benefits me.
  • "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day."
-Genesis 1:31

It strikes me that God called his creation good. That means that there was no imperfection when we were created. God is a perfect god and could not allow that to happen.
  • "Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked faithfully with God."
-Genesis 6:9

What is so striking about Noah was that he was the only righteous man of his time. The entire world besides Noah and his family was wicked, and even they later sinned. It is only because of God recognizing Noah that he could be saved. Nothing that Noah did could save him.
